Fun Times

Hello and Welcome

Another fun week filled with lots of activities and creating.  So happy that my little ones love anything creative...even better yet, they can play with them after they are made.

So here's what we did last week.

Camera

We made these simple little cameras and they were a big hit!

I glued together a little box (to make it more sturdy).  The kids coloured the printout and we glued it onto the little box I had made.  I hot glued a water bottle cap to the top and we added a bright red sticker to that.  Boy, did they have fun snapping pictures of everything.

PRINTABLE

ABC Tube

This is a very versatile activity that can be changed from ABC's to numbers, colours or even shapes.

I covered a paper towel roll with white paper, then printed the alphabet all over the tube.  I added in some numbers too.  The kids have to place the stickers over the matching letter/number.  It takes a bit of concentration but a fun recognition activity.

Colourful Clock

I used a paper plate as the base and the kids used stickers for the numbers.  More good practice for number recognition.  

Computer

I printed out the keyboard, glued it onto a piece of construction paper.  The base of the monitor is an old CD, a paper tube covered with blue paper and then added the paper screen.

PRINTABLE

How Do You Feel?

We made these little 'feeling' puppets.  The kids could turn the face to look happy or sad.  

We played a little game too....Happy Choices/Sad Choices.  I gave the kids a scenario and they turned the face to reflect it.  

PRINTABLE

Well that's how our week went.  Lot of learning and fun too.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Polar/ Arctic Animals

Well another busy and creative week as we learned about Polar/Arctic animals.

My kiddos were anxious to create and learn about them.  We talked about how they could be camouflaged against the snow if they were white and what they liked to eat.  

So here's what we did.

These fun Polar bears were simply made with some construction paper.  

The heads were folded as to give a 3-D look...so cute and great fine motor as they had to glue on the small snowflakes.

Caribou

These funny caribou puppets were fun to colour...my kids love to colour.

Paper plate polar bear.  

My kids wanted to make another polar bear so where is what we did.  

Cut the paper plates to use for the bear shape then glued on lots of fluffy cotton.  

Arctic Fox

Such a fun and easy fox to create using paper plates.  The head was made with a half plate that I rolled and stapled together.  The nose is a pom-pom.

This is a wheel we created showing all the Polar Animals.

I didn't get a picture of it all assembled but when we put them together, it shows the animal at the top and the name in the open space below.  More fun and learning as my littles ones are starting to read and recognize letters.

Letter Tubes

Last week we did Number Tubes.

This week it was time to do some letter ones.  They really worked hard to find all the letters stickers and place them on the tube.  We made it into a game too, think of a word that starts with that letter then stick it on.

So that's it for this week.

We are moving on to 'Penguins' next week.  

Thanks a lot for stopping in.
