Splish Splash week 1

Anything with an * means outside play

Monday~ Watercolor rainbow fish. We will add it to painted blue paper Saturday.   

Tuesday~ Take the sprinkler outside and bring the music too.

Wednesday~  Gather random toys around the house. See which sinks and which floats.

Thursday~ http://kidsactivitiesblog.com/28677/play-dough-recipe

Friday~ We are washing our toys. Use soap and a washcloth.

Saturday~ Sponge bombs- think Bozo and buckets.  Set up your buckets and toss the sponges in. 

Use less buckets for younger children or space them farther apart for older children. Basically, you toss something, in this case our sponge bombs, into the buckets.

Paint bubble wrap blue, roll on paper and add cut out RF. I don't know if I have a rolling pin, so I may just use a paper towel tube instead.

I will glue the tube together and on the paper before P works on it.  It may or may not have pipe cleaner legs.

I will either use fabric paint or a sharpie to make the lines on the hive.

Quiet book page:

Again, I won't be using white.  (Who in their right mind would use white for a child????)

I won't be sewing anything.  I will use hot glue.   Here is a guide, but seriously, just free hand it!

I won't be attaching the dots and they will go inside the bug. :) 

I will glue around the outside edge of the red. The top but leave the inside open. 

Next week shopping list:

celery or pretzel rods

PB or other spread (I would stay away from frosting this snack as we will probably have the c. chips)

chocolate chips (mini ones maybe?)

Apple if you are making the snail

raisins

Z is for Zoo week 2

Sunday bin

Monday~ either books or YouTube videos

Tuesday~ Tons of Zoo songs on YouTube

Wednesday~ if you have matching toys, see if your child can match.  Younger children, only put out two toys at once.  If you only have one set of animals, use printables and have your child match the toy to the printable.

Thursday~ Draw or print out either a zebra or tiger.

Get black paint and marbles.  For younger kids, use bigger sized balls.  You will need a box lid, paint, paper, and marbles/balls.  Put marble/ball into black paint. Coat well.  Drop with spoon into top of box.

How to marble paint:

Friday~ Give your child a plastic knife, frosting, and animal crackers.

Saturday~ Draw or print an elephant.  Give your child a paintbrush and grey paint.
