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.)

Hunter’s finished project.

Hailey’s finished project (she ended up using a paint brush.)

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 🙂

Count the Stars

 Earlier this week we did a test run of what a homeschooling day would be like since we are considering homeschooling next year.  We had a Bible story as part of our day.  Since Hailey has been learning about Abraham at church I decided to do a lesson about that.  We read the story about when God told Abraham to count the stars and that would be how many descendants he would have.  Hailey did a really simple craft to go with the story.

First Hailey colored stars all over her paper using a crayon.  I wanted her to use a white crayon but she insisted on using yellow.

 Then she painted with black water color all over the page to represent the night sky.  It turned out cute!

Tot School

Hunter is 14 months old

We had a fun week at Tot School this week!  Here’s a peek at some of the things we did:

We made a Valentine’s Day sensory bin that included pictures of our family on heart shaped card stock and some fake rose petals.

Hunter loved seeing the pictures of our family!  (See original post here.)

Hunter used a heart shaped cookie cutter to make some heart prints.  (Original post here.)

Hunter made this cute Valentine that says “I love you to pieces.”  (Original post here.)

Hunter is also learning the color red, so we had a red sensory bin. (Original post here.)

I made this so Hunter could practice his fine motor skills.  I just put a little hole in the bottom of each spot on the egg carton and put red pipe cleaner through each hole.

He’s not ready to try to put the pipe cleaner in through the holes yet.  That was too hard and just made him frustrated.  He handed it to me and wanted me to do it.

He did like pulling the pieces out though and worked on it for several minutes (which is a long time in toddler time).

 Hunter also colored for the first time this week.  He seemed to enjoy it and was very proud of himself once he finally figured out how to do it.  (Original post here.)
