Shamrock Suncatcher

It’s been another week of sickness at our house 🙁  Hunter had a fever and runny nose and just felt awful, but he is finally feeling better today, so we did our first craft of the week.

I put contact paper, sticky side up, on the table and then taped it down.  I gave Hunter green tissue paper to put on the contact paper.  (I drew a shamrock shape ahead of time to make it a little easier.)

Hailey is sick today, she woke up not feeling well with a fever and a cough, but her Motrin had kicked in just in time to help Hunter fill up his shamrock.

Once the shamrock was covered up with tissue paper I put contact paper on the other side of the tissue paper and cut it out.

The completed shamrock.

Hunter loves looking at it on our sliding glass doors.  In fact, that’s what he is doing right now while I’m posting this 🙂

I just started a Facebook and a Pinterest page, so be sure to stop by and follow me.

Car Painting

During our transportation theme, Hunter had fun making this great painting.

He had to taste the paint too.

Then he did a little more painting while checking out the mess he made on his hand.

Hailey wanted to make one too (and as you can see, Hunter is eating some more paint in the background.)

Tot School

Hunter is 14.5 months old

We missed a week of Tot School because Hunter was sick 🙁  He had a cold that turned into an ear infection and he was just miserable.  So, we took it easy for a week.  We were back to work this week though and had a fun week.

Our theme was transportation and we were still focusing on the color red.

Hunter worked on a transportation puzzle.  When he put the piece in the correct spot he got to hear the sound that the vehicle mades.  He loved it!

He had to stop working for a minute to suck on his toe 😉

Hunter also has this toy, when he matches up the vehicle it makes the sound of the vehicle.  He usually needs help matching them up, but he gets so excited when he hears the sound.

We also read some books about transportation.  This is one of his Lego books, where we can look at the pictures and build the vehicles.

The airplane and the car we made with Legos.

Hunter also tried out the train he got for Christmas.

He’s still not quite ready for it 🙂  He prefers to just take it apart.

Hunter loved this parking garage.  He had a lot of fun with all of his vehicles on the ramp.

Hunter painted with a car.

Hailey wanted to make a picture using a car too.  You can see Hunter in the background eating the paint off of his car.

Hunter used the d0-a-dot markers for the first time.  He LOVED it!!  He was not happy when it was time to put it away.

Hailey and Hunter made these in celebration of Dr. Seuss’s birthday.

Stop by 1+1+1=1 to see what the other tots have been up to this week.

Thing 1 and Thing 2

Hailey and Hunter made this cute Thing 1 and Thing 2 craft that I saw at Seusstastic Classroom.

Hailey did this printable I also found at Seusstastic Classroom.  She wrote, “I would tell the to please cause trouble.”  She said she would tell them that because they always do the opposite.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss 🙂
