There is Foot Painting and then there is our way...

Today we foot painted. Now for some people that means that they dipped each child's foot in some paint and put a few foot prints on some paper. This sound cool. But we had to take it a couple of steps further :) We threw blue, red and yellow paint on the back patio took off our shoes and walked, skipped and jumped all over the concrete patio. The kids loved it so much they kept going for almost an hour. The best part is that we left it there so all the kids could take their parents at the end of the day and show them the creation that we made. I love doing these kinds of activities that kids so rarely get to experience anywhere else.

Dr. Suess Week :)

Dr. Seuss recently had a birthday. In honor of this amazing man we had a week of projects and fun inspired by some of his books. Of course we read the classic The Cat In The Hat

and that lead to the hats you see to your left.
Aren't they all so cute?!?! We read I Wish I Had Duck Feet. Then we all drew pictures of ourselves with a special feature. Some had space helmets, some had butterfly wings but all were super special and fun to make :)

We read 1 Fish, 2 Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. That lead to the creations to the right. We cut out fish bowls and painted them with
colored corn syrup. This made a fun sticky surface for us to stick
some fish and a snail or two to. We added beans to look like

aquarium rocks and covered it with contact paper to give it that glassy appearance. They were super cute and lots of fun! We also read and embraced Wacky Wednesday. With crazy hair and clothes mismatched and backwards the kids loved this so much it has been requested to do it every week :) We read Horton Hears A Who, then watched the movie and made poof balls with Whos on them. I love Dr. Seuss week, it maybe my favorite week of the year.
