Tot School

Tot School

Hunter is 16 1/2 months old.

These weeks need to stop flying by so quickly, it seems like I just did a Tot School post, but here I am again doing another one.  This week we started a new color- orange, and continued our space theme.

He wanted to wear this orange hat.

He kept his hat on and practiced throwing the football into a bowl.

This is Hunter working on making a moon rock.  You can see the full post here, to see how we made them.

Our completed moon rocks, which I think turned out really great!  Hunter has enjoyed playing with his rock all week.  It didn’t hold up too well when he put it in his water table, but the water certainly looked nice and glittery.

Alien Puppet

We also made paper bag aliens.  Hunter loved using the do-a-dot markers to decorate his.

We are having so much fun with our space theme!  There are so many ideas out there to try.  Our latest project was to make a UFO.

UFO Craft

You’ll need 2 paper plates, a paper bowl, glue and anything else you want to use to decorate your UFO.

After painting his bowl, Hunter added some sequence.

Hailey added some glitter.

Once the bowls were dry, I used a brad to attach a string so that we would be able to hang up our UFOs.

UFO Craft

I glued the plates together and then glued the bowl on top.

Alien Puppets

We made cute aliens to go along with our space theme:

Alien Puppet

You’ll need: paper bag, glue, construction paper in a variety of colors, scissors, do-a-dot markers.

Alien Puppet

Have your child decorate the bag with do-a-dot markers (and perhaps his hands and the table too).

Alien Puppet

While the kids are working on their bags, cut out a variety of sizes of circles and some teeth.

Alien Puppet

Use the circles to decorate your alien.

Moon Rocks

Apr

The other day we took a little trip to the moon to celebrate our space theme… while we were there we collected some moon rocks.  Just in case you are unable to go all the way to the moon, here is how to make you own moon rocks at home:

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

You’ll need some paint- the one pictured is a silvery paint with glitter in it.  You have to use a lot of the paint or it doesn’t really show up.  You’ll also need some black and white tissue paper, glitter, something to paint with and a rock.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Paint the tissue paper onto the rock.  (The pacifier keeps the paint out of his mouth… usually.)

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

While your paint is still wet, add some glitter.
