Craft Time!

   My boys have really been enjoying craft time. This week their favorite thing they did was Color new Jammie Shirts. They always love when I pull out the fabric markers. I think there is something about things that are permanent that they love so much.

Owen!

All Done!

 So what are we doing next week?

We are going to read the book called The Things a String can be. (its a cute read... not great but still ok)

Monday; Fruit Loop necklaces

Tuesday; Learn about patterns

Wednesday; This is gymnastics day

Thursday; Weekly letter this week its C

Friday; String painting

  But this plan could go completely out the window as its supposed to be gorgeous and MAMA is here!!! YAY!!!!!

  

Craft Time - Week Two

Next week (sept 10-14) we are focussing on a new book for our afternoon craft time. I am super excited because it's by one of my favorite authors, Robert Munsch. It's No Clean Clothes!

Who doesn't love the pairing of Robert Munsch and Michael Martchenko??!? Munsch provides hilarious stories and Martchenko is a wonderful illustrator! My kids adore all the books from this pair, in fact Jaxon now says the title and then "by Robert Munsch, art by Michael Martchenko" Whenever we read one together!

 

  So here is our plan for the week;

Monday - Color a shirt, I will buy a couple plain white t shirts and pull out the fabric markers and let the kids go to town!

Tuesday - Dress a bear, I have printable bears and clothes and they can make funny outfits for the bears

Wednesday - I think Ill use this day to focus on our letters/Numbers, I found great printable letter puzzles from Pinterest (LOVE TO PIN!) and Ill make some practice writing sheets too!

Thursday - Make Kiss Cookies

Friday - What's this game, again on pinterest I found a fun game where you make a crocodile out of a cascade container and put things in his mouth. The kids then pull it out and either need to match them, or categorize them, etc (the applications are really endless) but this week we will use Mr. Croc and when they pull a picture out will have to tell me what article of clothing it is.

  

  Thats our plan! Sounds Fun doesnt it?!?!



Craft Time - Week One

 With the start of school, and the  return to not so nice weather (which isnt here yet but Im sure its on its way), I wanted to come up with some structured activities to help turn the screens  in my house off. I decided every afternoon to do a craft time. I assigned each week a story book and then I came up with crafts to go along with it... so we read the story and then do the craft. Its only week one but so far its going good.
  This week our book is "If you Give a mouse a cookie" Our Activities are;
Monday - was a holiday... no set craft time
Tuesday - Make Cookies (we made snickerdoodles... my recipe is so awesome I could eat an entire batch!)
Wed - this is gymnastic days so we dont have time for craft time!
Thursday - Counting Cookies Hide and Seek (I have felt cookies that have various number of choco chips, from 1-10) I hide them around the room and the boys need to find them and put them in the right order!)
Friday -  Cookie Coloring (I have cut circles out of brown construction paper and the boys will get to design their own cookie)
  This week we are also focussing on the Letter A and number 1... although since we missed Monday as the holiday we will probably just do A and 1 with B and 2 next week.

   Aren't you just so excited to see which book we do next week???
