Fall Tree Craft

We made these really easy fall trees, and they turned out cute. I love easy and cute art projects!

I gave Hunter a piece of brown, already cut out, to use as a tree trunk.  Then I put some fall colored paint onto a paper plate and gave him a shower pouf to stamp some leaves on the tree.

Harper made one too- her very first painting.

Hailey also made one, but she painted her own tree trunk.

The completed fall trees.

Weekly Wrap Up

Since we are several days into October, I thought it was time I finished up our activities from our summer learning fun.  Our last theme for the summer was Jack and Beanstalk.  Of course, we read Jack and Beanstalk every day, and several times some days.  Both boys really liked the story.

Hunter and Anthony colored some bags of gold.

They practiced their cutting.

Then they matched up the pictures they had cut out and glued them.

They worked on a “which one is different” page.

Anthony cut out some numbers and then glued them onto the square that had that number of beans.

They worked on a q-tip painting of the letter B for beans and J for Jack.

I made a little beanstalk and Anthony thought it was fun to have his superheros climb up the beanstalk.

We put beans and a wet paper towel into a ziploc bag, then hung them up on a window.  It was fun to watch the beans sprout.

We made this little picture- some beans on the bottom, green tissue paper for the beanstalk and some clouds.

Jack and the Beanstalk was such a fun little unit! We had a great time!!

Happy Birthday, Hailey!

 How can she really be 9?  Halfway to 18…

We’re Back

We are back from our annual vacation to Disney World! We had a blast, as always, and I will be back to post more about it very soon.
