Easter...

We got crazy and colored real eggs. I was going to pass on doing it this year as I found cool puffy stickers to decorate the plastic eggs we hunt but it was a fun experience that I know some of them never get to have.

Our cooking activity this week week went with our theme which was dinosaurs. I changed it up a bit....It was called dino nests....I used a square graham cracker, and cream cheese...i colored mine with green food coloring and I also sweetened it with powdered sugar. Then We used three jelly beans  for the eggs....The kids loved it! 

Update on our garden.....These are the potates, onions,and the massive squash plant...

We have several squash growing.....

 These are our green beans, but they are yellow....

And our corn.....

We now have two tomatoes growing.

April 2011

Shave cream play on the table. I try to do this once a week or so...sometimes I leave it white and sometimes I will add paint to support our color. This is great for practicing writing skills.

 Puple of course was our color so I brought out the purple paper and the sticks to make V's as that was our letter for the week.

Our dramatic play area.

This was made for child abuse awareness month which is April. I had the kids color on the white paper and then made the fans....I made the blue ones, on April 6th which was child abuse awareness day we took the kids out around the hey and took a picture.

fine motor skills activity.....beading ocean creatures onto string.

look at how she grouped them by color....LOVE IT!!!

This is a dray table I set up for sensory....

The water table is ALWAYS a hit!

I have been dying rice for quite a while but decided to try a new idea i read about. I dyed the rice with grape kool-aide to make it purple......it worked great and boy does it smell GOOD!
