Bring on the Fun!

 Hello

I hope you summer is going well.

For me, it's going by way too fast!  Pretty soon the kids will be back in school.

I had some holidays but other then that, we have been keeping busy as usual.

So, here's what we have been up to.

Bluey

My kids really like the Bluey TV show so we made some puppets for that.

Ice Cream Number Match Game

Spoon Flowers

Flower Wall Hanger

Unicorns and Mermaids Day

The kids wanted to do a mermaid and unicorns day so they all brought their stuffed toys from home and here's what we did.

Our snack was Unicorn Horns.

Cut banana in half and insert stick.  Freeze.  Dip into yogurt and add sprinkles, the freeze again.

Thanks for coming by and taking a look.

Ocean and Beach

 Welcome

What a busy month August has been!  I can't believe how time flies.

I took some time off and stepped away from social media so be prepared....this post is a longer then usual with the theme we worked on for a few weeks.

So here's what we did a few weeks ago.

Fish

We made these cute cone fish using construction paper.

Rocking Shark

This fun printable was coloured, then folded so it would rock.

PRINTABLE

Seagull

We made this cute seagull using paper plates.

Fishing

This cute little fish was made using a paper towel tube, flattened and then cut.

The kids coloured it and we attached it to a large stick and went fishing.

Moving Fish

We made these fun fish that could bend and we could make them swim.

INSTRUCTIONS

Seashell Necklaces

I had a bag of seashells so I drilled some holes in them and the kids used them to string some necklaces and bracelets.

Seashell

I printed this cute little seashell off and when folded, it can open and close.

Some of the kids made small shapes to put in the mouth.

PRINTABLE

Octopus

This cute printable helped us learn that an octopus has 8 legs.

Another fun one.

We glued them onto a stick so we could sail them.

Well thanks so very much for taking a look.

Have a great week!

Ocean Theme

Well here we go with some fun.

This summer went by way too quickly but we really had lots of fun creating.

These crafts were from our 'Ocean Theme'.  Very simple but fun to play with as well as create.

Above was a fishy scene we created.  These cute fish are just a strip of paper folded in half and snips made in the tail.  Add the fins and glue onto a blue paper.

The crab is a strip of paper as well.

This cute little boat is created by using some paper folds.  I added a popsicle stick so it became a toy.

The kids did a puppet show with them.

Here is a fun fish we created using a paper plate.  Cut out the mouth and use the leftover piece to make the tail and fins.  We glued some folded circles onto the fish to look like the gills.  

You could add a piece of cardboard to the back as a handle and the kids could make the fish swim.

 Simple jellyfish mobile.

I cut out the heads, added some streamers cut from a white kitchen garbage bag and attached them to a large popsicle stick with string.

This is called the 'Moving Fish' because by cutting the slits in the paper it moves.

Here is the link for the pattern:

This super easy craft was made with a paper plate, simple head and feet cut outs.

Great fine motor activity for the kids as they picked up the dots and stuck them onto the glue dots I had placed on the plate/shell of the crab.

Thanks for coming by and taking a look.
