Tuesday song.
You could make 10 felt apples or just use 10 pom pons






So we will sort ball pit balls- red, green, and yellow.
If I have them, we will sort into red, green, or yellow bins.






On here we will use Scented Apple Paint.  I will never use glitter with children...  Hello, glitter is cut up glass.

For older children, have them roll a 
number cube and take that many apples out with the tongs.





Saturday:

                                                                Apple Moon Sand

You could also add the Apple play dough set.



I really really want to make this:

Splish Splash week 2



Anything with an * is an outdoor activity, however, some can be brought inside as well.

Monday~


Anything with an * is an outdoor activity, however, some can be brought inside as well.


Wednesday~ Use different color fun foam and cut out shapes for the water table.

Thursday~  Bring out paint rollers and paint brushes and take them outside.  You could also do inside with construction paper and still use plain water.

Friday~ Give your child a whisk and have them whisk to make bubbles. 

Saturday~ Duck footprint



I will most likely let P paint the water and let it dry and add his foot later.

With this a mainly outdoor week, I will most likely switch around things based on the weather.



We will also eat goldfish for a snack.  You could also do blue colored vanilla pudding.  If P liked Jell-O, I would make blue Jell-O and put it through the potato ricer.  Just do it, the kids love the different texture when they eat it. 

Yes this is basically what mine looks like from my gamma.  Oh wait- she took it back and gave me the "new" one because the old one works better lol


I also have the theme Ocean planned for later on.
