Safety Week

  Good Morning.

I think introducing a Safety theme with my little ones is an important thing to do.  

You read stories about very young children being able to call for help in some amazing situations.

Hopefully, my littles will never be put into that position and I'm not sure how much they will remember, but it's a start anyways.

So, here's what we did last week.

Traffic Lights

Fireman and Firetruck

The firetruck was made by gluing craft sticks together and the kids decorated.

We learned about having a safety plan and what to do if there was a fire.

We added a shield on the top.

Another fun week learning about Groundhog Day, shadows and creating some of our favourite TV characters.

So, here's what we did last week.

Peppa Pig

We used a red paper plate for the body and I printed off Peppa's head to add to the top.

Groundhog Day

Here in Canada, we celebrate Groundhog Day on Feb. 2.

Arctic Animals

 Welcome

What a great week we had learning about Arctic Animals.

The kids were eager to learn all about them...we still need to do more penguin activities as they are fascinated by them.

Here's what we did last week.

Snowy Owl

Aren't these the cutest!  

We made these using a pinecone and glued cotton into the little parts of the cone.

We added the wings and the head.  The kids loved them.

Feed the Polar Bear

I made a little box that fit behind the bear's mouth.  We learned that polar bears mostly eat fish, so we coloured some fish and added numbers to them to feed the bear.

My little kiddos are fascinated by snowmen, so we spent the week making them in different ways.

We learned about bringing snow inside and how it would melt and that rain could freeze and turn into ice.

So, here's what we did last week.

These cute little snowmen are glued onto a piece of cardboard and the heads are popped up.

Happy New Year!!

 Welcome and Happy New Year!

It's been a busy one already for me, but we have managed to have so much fun.

There really hasn't been snow to play in, just a lot of freezing rainy days.  The kids love creating so it's easy to fill our days with fun.

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

Happy New Year Star

I cut some old CD's into a star shape and we glued smaller stars onto it.

New Year Banner

Let's Celebrate

I made a cone shape from paper and we glued strips of tissue paper inside.
