Bethany really enjoyed doing tree rubbings today, she even found a few extra things to do rubbings off.
Monday – ‘K’ Knitting – The girls can work on either their flat needles or the french knitting set
Tuesday – ‘L’ Lemonade – Make lemonade with the girls and have a picnic lunch (hopefully in the sun)
Wednesday – ‘M’ Mazes – Printable mazes here and here. An easy day today as we are doing a Museum visit on the 20th.
Thursday – ‘N’ Nature Walk – We will take along a Nature Box to fill while we walk
Friday – ‘O’ Organs – Trace the kids bodies onto a large piece of paper and paste organs onto them. Talk about what each organ does in our body.
Quite a few weeks ago now we found ourselves with a lovely sunny day and no idea what to do with it so I took the girls outside with sidewalk chalk and this is what we got up to.
First I traced around F3’s shape on the ground using the chalk and then we dressed her and gave her hair and a face. The girls really enjoyed doing this. It didn’t take long so it held their very short attention spans and got them working together (F3 and S1). Since this pic was taken we have also done the alphabet along the footpath and drawn a zoo with cages and everything to visit on our walk around the yard. (sorry no pics of these). This would be a great activity to teach your little ones about shorter and taller if you were tracing more than 1 person and maybe even get them using a ruler to measure their height.
The Crafty Crow linked to this neat idea today. A great use for those old egg cartons and an easy enough project for the kids to do from start to finish themselves. What kid doesn’t like getting messy with paints!
