Tot School
Hunter is 16 months old.
We had another fun week! We are still focusing on the color yellow and Earth Day.
We dyed some rice yellow. I used food coloring mixed with a little vinegar and mixed it up in a ziploc bag with some help from Hunter. The rice looked mostly orange though and I didn’t have enough to cover all of the rice:-( I added some yellow water color and that turned the rest of the rice yellow.
We ended up with an interesting colorful mixture.
I decided that rice is an outdoor activity so Hunter enjoyed playing with it on the deck.
We also made a yellow discovery bottle. You can’t really tell from the picture, but there’s lots of stuff in there- and as long as it makes noise Hunter loves it. So I made sure we included yellow beads so it would rattle when he shook it. Hunter put everything in the bottle- he did really good putting each piece in, his fine motor skills have improved a lot.
Success- he loved it!
We made a paper plate earth for Earth Day… you can see the whole post here.
We also made a vase and flowers using recycled materials.
This was the finished project, mostly done by Hailey but Hunter did help make the flowers. You can see the whole post here.
Check out my Earth Day Pinterest board for more ideas for Earth Day.
Other stuff we did:
It was finally warm enough for Hunter to play in his water table… he loves it!
Hunter does a great job with puzzles and they keep his attention for a long time.
He was a helpful little boy and mowed the lawn for daddy.
He had so much fun playing with bubbles 🙂 I love this picture!
Hunter enjoyed playing in some shaving cream 🙂
