Arctic Animals

 Welcome

Winter is upon us in a big way this year with lots of snow and very cold temperatures.

It was a great time to learn about some Arctic animals and how they endure the cold winter days for most of the year.

This is just some of what we created and learned about.

Celebrating Fall

 Welcome

Last week we did a Fall theme, such a lovely time of year to discover.

My little ones find joy in playing in the leaves, collecting them and hearing them crunch when we walk over them.

Great time of year to also learn some colours and enjoy nature.

So, here's what we did last week.

Leaf Match Game

I printed off the leaves and the kids glued them onto a base.  

I did add a coloured dot as my little are so young and the dot would be helpful in matching.

PRINTABLE

Fall Banner

I printed off the leaves and the kids coloured them.  After I cut them out, we glued them onto the banner.

PRINTABLE

Fall Forest

We glued the trees together and added some punched out leaves.

Fall Suncatcher

I cut out a shadow of a squirrel and we made them into suncatchers.

Leaf Gluing

A great fine motor activity...good chance to learn some colours too.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

 Hello and Welcome

One of our favourite books is The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  It's a fun story about how the caterpillar eats his way through the week and then becomes a butterfly.

I thought it would be a fun theme to work on with the kids.

So here's what we did.

Caterpillar

The kids coloured green strips of paper and we glued them onto a leaf that have eating circles punched into it.

Caterpillar Puzzle

I printed out a picture of the Hungry Caterpillar, the kids coloured it and then we cut it into a puzzle.

Caterpillar Game

We made a 'Feed the Caterpillar' game with all the foods from the story.

Story Sequencing 

Using our story as a reference, we recreated the story.

Paper Tube Butterfly

Some of the other things we did too!

Paper Plate Basket

My kids made a basket to use to collect dandelions.

Windsock

Swing Printable

This was a fun 3D printable we did.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Happy Thanksgiving- Gobble, Gobble

 Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadian friends and family.

This week we had such fun creating lots of turkeys for our holiday celebrations.

So fun and happy they can share with their families.

So here is what we did this week.

Turkey Wreath

Who doesn't need a turkey wreath to welcome Autumn and Thanksgiving.

Simply made using a paper plate and some cut out shapes.

Turkey Sitter

Here is a fun turkey we made by stuffing a paper lunch bag with newspaper and adding all the turkey details.

This is the song we learned.  The kids love it!

Turkey Puppets

Simple turkey puppets to use with our song (above).

Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream Game

So fun and simple.  I printed out the pieces and we glued the numbers to a paper plate.  

They counted and added the pieces.  A big hit with the kiddos.

Here is the link to the printout:

Pumpkin Pie game

Turkey Pie Boxes

We made these fun boxes but instead of adding pie as it was too messy, we added some snack crackers.

Here is the link to the printable:

Pie Boxes

Colouring Turkeys

I drew some turkeys for them to colour but you could just print them out.

Baby Pumpkins

These little pumpkins are made using this punch.  So cute and the perfect size for little hands.
