Dot the Dalmatian

One of the books we read last week for our Fire Safety theme had a dalmatian in it named Dot.  So, Hailey decided that she wanted to make Dot the Dalmatian.

You’ll need: red and black construction paper, google eyes, glue and a paper bowl.

Cut out a tongue, ears and spots.  I used a 3 hole punch to cut out a bunch of spots for the dog.

Glue the spots onto the bowl.

Add the eyes, ears and tongue.  Then Hailey told me we needed to add a hat just like Dot in the book had.  So, I did my best to make a hat.

Fire Truck

Since last week was Fire Safety Week we did some fire safety art projects.  I had a bunch of them planned but we got busy and ran out of time to do everything.  I do have a couple of ideas to share though.

Put some yellow and red paint on a piece of paper.

Spread and mix the paint using a cotton ball until it looks like fire.  I ended up having to add more yellow to try to get the orange look I was hoping for.

Then cut out some pieces to make a fire truck

Glue the fire truck together.

Glue the fire truck onto the fire.

Letter of the Week- Letter C

Our letter last week was the letter C.

We colored the letter C template.

Hailey worked on making a C is for Clock that I found at Homeschool Creations.

Here is our finished Cc is for Clock.  I printed the clock face from here and Hailey cut it out.  We added some hands to the clock.  Then we added a pendulum which is just yarn and construction paper.  Then I cut out a little clock base for her to glue on.

I had a lot of other letter C activities planned for last week but time just got away from us.  We had places to go almost everyday.  Plus last week was Hailey’s 3rd birthday.  So, we just ran out of time to get any other letter C activities done. We did manage to get some of our Fire Safety activities done, so check back to see what we did.

Tot School- Week in Review

Hailey is 36 months old (my baby turned 3 this week!).

Here is a review of the activities we did last week with links to the original posts with more details and activities.

Letter Activities:

Hailey painted the letter Bb blue.

Our letter this week was the letter B.  We made this cute Bb is for Bumble Bee.

Hailey loved making this Bb is for Bandaid Butterflies.

We have four word cards each week to go along with our letter of the week.  Hailey is practicing her letter B words.

Theme activities:

We learned about fall and leaves last week.  Hailey loved making several leaf rubbings.

We made these pretty fall leaves by coloring coffee filters with markers and then spraying them with water.  The colors blend together and make very pretty leaves.

Hailey learned the names of the parts of a tree.

Hailey made a “Where is the Leaf?” book to practice words like under, on, in, behind and over.

Hailey also learned about making patterns.

Color and Shape activities:

Hailey wanted to why yellow and blue make green.

Playing our own version of Twister was a great way to practice colors and to focus on circles.
