Construction Time!

It's construction time at Jibber Jabber! That means hard hats, hammers and lots of dirt! It's a fun time for everyone! We started the week of with a favorite activity! We hammered golf tees that we used as nails into styrofoam boards! The kids absolutely loved going to the building area for this!

Smiles all around and everyone learned a new construction song to sing!

Our next activity was super exciting! All of our construction workers had a chance to get nice and messy!

We started by mixing together a dough of flour, water, and food coloring!

Then we dipped cotton balls in them and baked them!

And finally, WE HAMMERED! The dough made a hard shell around them that was an interesting texture! It was very exciting to watch the cotton balls break open and still be fluffy on the inside! 

We really enjoyed making and playing with play dough this week as well! All of the kids wanted to make houses and tractors! They were really into the construction spirit!

Our next activity was painting with tractors! Everyone grabbed a tractor and went to town! We made a lot of fun prints with the wheels!

After that we moved on to creating our own masterpieces out of marshmallows! 

Jacob worked hard to create his own caterpillar!

Sammy made herself a beautiful bunny!

Angelina made a car!

Bunny wanted to go for a ride!

They were all very proud of their awesome work!

Finally, we made some Three Little Pig houses and read the story to go with it! We huffed and puffed and built our own houses! They were really focused on making patterns with their sticks! 

It was a fun and busy time at Jibber Jabber! Everyone really loved learning about construction!
