Community Helpers

 

Hello and Welcome

This past week, we learned all about people that help us in our Community.

Essential workers have keep our lives on track during this difficult time and I thought it was a good time for the kids to explore and create with that theme.

So here's what we did last week.

Police Officer

The kids really had fun pretending to be the police.  We made the hat and the badge; I used a paper clip so that it was easy to go on and off of their collars.

Nurses

These cute little nurse puppets were printed out and glued onto a craft stick.

We coloured a piece of white paper, accordion folded it and then glued it on for her uniform.

Doctor's Bag

This was a fun craft.  I printed off the the inside of a Doctor's kit, the kids had to put all the items in the right place.  After we glued them all into place, we glued them inside of a folded piece of construction paper to make a Doctor's bag.

Stethoscope

This was a simple stethoscope we made.  I wrapped some pipe cleaners with red tape, attached a small plastic cut at the bottom and the kids decorated them with pieces of coloured tapes.

Firetruck

For our firetruck, I glued some popsicle sticks together and the kids added the details.

Firemen

These cute little firemen are a printable.

Emergency

We made these cell phones and practiced pushing 911 emergency.

Traffic Lights

Mailbox

To go along with our Postal worker theme, I made a simple paper mailbox that the kids decorated with coloured tapes.  We added some envelopes for a fun interactive craft.

Finally...

I filled up some balloons with water and food colouring and froze them out in the backyard.

My kids loved them.  They called them Magic Wishing balls.  

Well that's all for now.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
