Fun, Creative and Learning Times

 Hello

As always, we have been keeping busy with lots of fun, creative and learning times.

Winter weather is just about to arrive, so we are finishing up with our Fall activities and we will be moving onto Christmas soon.

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

Paper Bag Scarecrow

Crows

Scarecrow Mask

Blowing Leaves

This was so fun to make.  I took an old tissue box and cut off the front.

The kids coloured a picture of trees and we glued it to the back for the scene.  Next we filled up the box with leaves I had punched out of different colours and then I covered the front with a piece of plastic wrap.  

I added a straw to the top and when the kids blew into the straw, it made all the leaves blow around.

This week we had a pet theme and created some great paper pets.

Meet our little kittens.

They loved playing with them.

A simple fishbowl cut from construction paper.  We added some details and the kids coloured the 3D fish that are folded and glued together.

 I couldn't find the original link but here is one similar:

Cute and simple puppies.

Take a long strip of paper, fold in the middle.  Add a head and some ears, etc..  Bend up long panel for feet.

After our walk and collecting lots of leaves, the kids wanted to make a leaf hat.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Let's Remember and Pets

Welcome.

The weeks are just flying by as we get closer to Christmas. 

The stores are filled with holiday cheer and my little ones are starting to anticipate the big day.....well not quite yet!

First, this week we remembered the people that helped our Country be free.

We called them the Hero Helpers.  

Since my little ones are so young and don't really understand the concept of war, that's the way I like to approach it.  They will get to know the horrors of the war soon enough, but for now I like to focus on the positive and how lucky we are to live in a free country.

Paper plate Remembrance Day wreaths.

Using a small paper plate, we glued on some red poppies that I cut from red paper.

They liked gluing on the black circles...good fine motor too.

So now onto our pets....

Learning Sizes Cats

This fun activity is really simple to do.  Just a bit of paper folding.

Again, simple to create.

Paper Mouse

Here is a cute paper mouse we made.  He can sit or lay down.  

It is just a piece of paper folded into 3rds. and glued together 

I cut out the ears and tail, we added some google eyes and a pom-pom nose.

Fish Bowl

I cut out a fish bowl shape and the kids glued on some fish that they coloured.

Here is a pet gluing activity we did.
