Clothespin Butterflies

Here is what you need.

To color the coffee filter you can use the watercolor paint trays OR the liquid watercolors from Colorations are awesome. I am only down to four colors, but they have a huge variety! To check them out go to: http://www.discountschoolsupply.com


Let the coffee filter dry and then make your butterfly!

The All About Me Basket!

In honor of MOYC, each child is going to have their own special day! They get to pack the basket full of all of their favorite things, and bring it to show everyone! They also get to be the big helper for the day!

It's time for some Spring Fun!

This month we will be watching caterpillars spin their chrysalis and hatch into beautiful butterflies!

Happy Easter! The kids took turns pretending to be the Easter Bunny and hid eggs for each other.

We read "Curious George Goes to the Beach". We had a beach day! The kids wore their suits and brought their beach towels! We had soooo much fun!

Luke loved the Lightning McQueen beach chair!

Belle loved the beach balls!

Reegan was sunning herself in the inner tube!

We made fruit kabobs for a yummy snack!

Luke REALLY likes pineapple!

Reegan thought it was so funny to eat her fruit off of a stick.

Belle filled her stick end to end!

We decorated buckets and dug for seashells in the sand!

We also did a little hula dancing!

Luke didn't want anything to do with the hula dancing. Although he was very polite about it. Whenever anyone asked him to dance he would say, "No thank-you".

We made Mr. Crab with our handprints!

I actually made these beach cupcakes for my son's kindergarten class. They had a beach day also. The sand is graham cracker crumbs, the beach ball is a gumball, and the inner tube is a gummy lifesaver! What a fun snack!

It's Curious George Week!

Today we read, "Curious George and the Puppies". We made Puppy Chow!

Recipe for Puppy Chow

You will need:

1/2 cup butter

1 cup peanut butter

2 cups powdered sugar

12 oz. bag of chocolate chips

12 oz. box of Crispix cereal

In a large pan, melt the butter, chocolate chips, and peanut butter until smooth. Pour in the cereal and stir well to coat all the cereal. Spread the mixture onto wax paper and sift powdered sugar over all puppy chow until coated well! Very yummy!

Today we read, "Curious George Visits the Firestation". We dressed up like firefighters and we played with our firetrucks. We also did a practice fire drill!
