Books and Cartoon Characters cont. (week 2)

Hello and Welcome!

Last week was such a big hit with my little ones.  We did book and cartoon characters as our theme.  They asked to do more, so I planned this week to do more!

I love seeing the excitement in their eyes.  

So here's what we did this week.

Placemats

The kids wanted to make a placemat for home, so I printed off some pictures and we coloured and glued it all together....I added their names (covered) and then laminated them.  

The kids loved them.

My little ones love Dora the Explorer, so we made a match game to play.

Another huge favourite show is Paw Patrol so we made a door hanger with their names on it.

Princess Theme

Thursday and Friday was a Princess theme. 

Since I have 4 little girls right now, they SO wanted to make princess puppets and a castle so that's what we did.

I printed off a Prince and Princess and we made them into puppets.

I printed this off and we coloured it first, then glued it inside of our decorated castles.  The piece for the back was cut larger then the front, so it could bend and make room for them to play inside with the puppets. 

We coloured the jewels above, I cut them out and then the girls glued them onto the matching spot.  It was a great lesson on learning shapes too!

Friday was Princess Day

We all got dressed up as princesses and had such a great time.

These are the crowns we made, they pretty much wore them all day too!

We played Princess Bingo

 ....and what's a Princess day without some decorated bracelets to wear, a glow in the dark wand, a unicorn and some Princess tattoos.  Such fun we had.

This is the princess food we ate:

 a cheese crown

Princess Popcorn...I tinted the butter with food colouring

and pink yogurt dipped breadstick that I froze a bit.

Well that's all for now.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Favourite Shows

Welcome
We had another fun week creating.
I decided to go with a 'Favourite Shows' theme and they absolutely loved it!
So here's what we created this week.

Princesses....they have been wanted to make some of these for awhile.

I printed these off Princess Printables and glued them together as instructed.

I punched out 8 circles in blue, then 8 circles in pink for each little princess.  They coloured them and we glued them together to form the dress.  I did cut them straight across the bottom so they would have fun playing with them.

Who doesn't love Max and Ruby.  Fun little show.
We stuffed white paper bags with newspaper after decorating them.
I stamped the top closed and we added the ears.
They turned out very cute.

The girls love Ariel the mermaid from the Disney movie, so I printed it off, glued it onto a piece of cardboard for stability and they coloured them up.  We took some cupcake liners, folded them in half and glued them to the dress and added the long stir stick to create a puppet.
Here is the link for printing:

Dora Day

We ended the week with a 'Dora Day'.
My kids always love having a special themed day and this one was a big hit.

Dora binoculars made from paper rolls to go exploring.

 This is how I created backpack.
I didn't have any large paper bag so I glued 2 smaller ones together by cutting open the sides and gluing them together.
Above, you can see the pieces we used.  I hot glued the straps made from fun foam on the back before the kids decorated the bag.
Here is the link to the face details that we used:

Finally, we made 'Map' to go inside the backpack.

Map was created by covering a tube with white paper and adding these face details:

We coloured the map, rolled it up and placed it inside the tube.

They had a blast pretending to explore.

Well that's it for this week.
Thanks so very much for coming by and taking a look.
