Bee Crafty Kids- The Mayflower
Nov
Welcome back to the Bee Crafty Kids link up that I am co-hosting with To The Moon and Back and Look! We’re Learning.
We have been learning all about Thanksgiving this month, and having lots of fun! This week we focused on the Pilgrims and what it was like on the Mayflower. Then we made our own Mayflower.
Hunter and Hailey painted a box brown. We actually ran out of brown paint, so we had a little mini-lesson on which colors you can mix together to get brown.
The next day, Hailey added some windows.
Hailey made a sign and we added some sails.
Hunter and Hailey both enjoy sitting in the Mayflower 🙂

Fall Tree Craft
Oct
Welcome back to the Bee Crafty Kids link up that I am co-hosting with To The Moon and Back and Look! We’re Learning.
We have been doing a mini leaf unit and have had some fun art projects along with it. Here is one that I think turned out really cute:
First Hailey and Hunter glued a tree that I cut out onto some construction paper.
Then, using leaves we had just collected from our backyard, they painted leaves onto their trees.
They both really enjoyed painting with leaves.

Tot School
Sep
Hunter is 21 months old.
We had another fun week at Tot School! I finally feel like I’m getting into a routine with homeschooling Hailey, so the activities I did with Hunter this week were a bit more purposeful than they have been in the last few weeks.
Hunter made this cute “A is for Alligator” that I found at Totally Tots. Hailey loves to work with Hunter and help him, and of course he loves to have her help.
A is for Alligator.
Hunter is also learning the color red and circles, so he had fun stamping red circles.
Hunter loves the printables from the Zoomin Movin Alphabet. This week he seemed to understand that he can stamp the do-a-dot marker onto the circles on the paper.
Hunter and Hailey doing some toe-touches while working on their memory verse.
Having fun dancing.
Hunter made this apple parts craft that went in his Apple Totbook, which I will be sharing sometime this week.
We also learned all about Johnny Appleseed this week and made a cute craft about him, which I will also share this week.
Hunter loved pretending to be Johnny Appleseed and wearing a pot on his head.
Hailey and Hunter watched a short movie (about 17 minutes) about Johnny Appleseed on YouTube.
Hunter made an apple basket craft, which I will also share this week.
This Apple Tree Activity turned out super cute!
Hunter enjoyed making this Apple Core Craft with Hailey.
We are using Road Trip USA for Hailey’s geography curriculum and we made a Robin Craft this week, to go along with Connecticut. Hunter loves doing everything that Hailey does 🙂

Apple Core Craft
Sep
Here is another simple, but cute apple craft:
You’ll need a paper plate. red paint, green, brown and black construction paper.
When we went to start the activity I realized I only had one paper plate left, so Hailey and Hunter had to work together. First, they painted the ends of the paper plate.
Next they added some seeds.
Then Hailey added the stem and leaves.
Cute apple core 🙂
