A Superhero Father's Day

Father's Day is here! Jibber Jabber is preparing for the holiday by learning about superheroes! Since our Daddy's are our superheroes we decided to make them some fun gifts to show them how much we love them!

 

We started by making matching superhero capes for the kids and their Daddies! Everyone was so excited to pick out colors and shapes to glue onto them!

 

Teamwork!

 

 

Making our matching capes!

 

Stacking shapes!

 

Word bubble mustaches!

 

Next we made kite twirlers! We colored in superheroes, tied them to strings and ran like the wind!

 

 

 

 

One of our especially popular crafts this week was making superhero dolls! The kids had a great time dressing up their superheroes!

 

 

 

Last but not least, we finished up our superhero theme by making superhero finger puppets!

They had capes, masks, and even google eyes!

 

 

 

 

It was another amazing week at Jibber Jabber! Superhero fun for everyone!

 

 

 

Let's Make Music!

It's music week at Jibber Jabber and that means a fun filled week of arts & crafts and learning about instruments and sounds! We started our week by painting our own guitars!

Lilly wasn't sure if she should paint her tray or her guitar!

 

Hard at work mixing beautiful colors!

 

Our next craft was making jingling ankle bracelets!

We took strips of fabric and decorated them with bells and flowers!

 

 

The girls smelling their flowers before they put them on!

"Look, flower eyes!"

 

Everyone really enjoyed dancing with their jinglers!

 

After making lots of noise with our instruments, we decided to paint to the sound of music!

We listened to different styles of music and painted with different brushes, rollers, and sponges!

The kids had a great time requesting faster and slower music!

Testing out the sponge rollers!

Painting with fingers!

Oops! I missed the paper and got my hair!

Mixing colors!

 

After our adventures in musical painting, we decided to make tambourines!

 

Everyone got to paint a bowl and put bells on ribbons to attach them!

 

 

Goofy boys painting!

 

Our last activity for music week was making fun little noise makers called "Clickety Clacks!" We painted cardboard and bottle caps green and decorated them to look like crocodiles!

 

Giggles and smiles all around!

 

It was another fun week at Jibber Jabber exploring sounds and music!

 

 

 

 

 

Outer Space!

Outer space week is here! All of our little Jibber Jabber aliens were so excited to be learning about planets and stars and moons! We started our week off by shaving cream painting to make prints for our planets! We learned what colors the planets were and which planets had rings!

 

Shaving cream painting was so much fun! After that, we decided to try saran wrap painting to make our suns!

 

 

It was very interesting to mush and squish the paint under the saran wrap to make swirly patterns!

 

Next, we had to make rocketships to blast off to the planets!

First, we made small ones...

 

And then we made a BIG one!

 

Using rollers!

Hard at work!

Peeking through our roof!

Lilly forgot where to put the paint!

Mixing colors!

 

It was an amazing day of painting and blasting off to different planets all day long!

 

Last but not least, we made jetpacks! This is an awesome activity that all of our little astronauts looked forward to!

It was a fantastic week of planets, astronauts and rocketships!
