We Love Fall!

This week at Jibber Jabber we have been having an awesome time with Fall crafts! We've gotten to do some really fun leaf projects like making leaf people! All of the kids thought it was so much fun to put hair on their leaf people!

 

 

 

We also had a really pretty craft where the kids took ripped up tissue paper and stuck it to leaf shaped contact paper! They really enjoyed the different colors and getting to make their leaves so beautiful!

 

 

 

 

Definitely one of our cooler projects this week was corn cob painting! We took half pieces of corn cobs and rolled them in paint to make a pretty pattern! Then we decided it would be fun to race them across the table and see who could get the farthest with their corn! This quickly turned into a very exciting game!

 

 

 

 

 

We used the pretty prints from these corn paintings to make a corn wreath!

 

Last but not least, we made hand print ghosts! Everyone really enjoyed adding googly eyes and Sammy even made baby ghosts using the side of her fist!

 

 

 

 

That's all for this week! Come back soon for photos from the pumpkin patch!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

Thanks, Randy for being brave enough to help the kids up the hay mountain!

It's off to the races!

Hay Rides!

Such a sweet brother and sister moment. I think we should frame it and bring it out in 5 years :)

The troops to the field...

We told Sammy if she could carry it, she could have it.

Even little bits got to pick out pumpkins.

Great day! Thanks so much to all of the parents that volunteered and came with us!!!!! It wouldn't have been as much fun without you!

Fun in the Fall!

We have a lot of exciting crafts to share this week from Jibber Jabber! We started with a nature walk to collect acorn tops! The kids had an awesome time looking at the different colored leaves and observing the sights of Fall! Then we brought all the acorns and leaves back and made our own picture frames!

 

 

 

 

 

Our next activity was a big hit! We took paper plate halves and used q-tips dipped in paint to paint them! Some very colorful designs came out!

 

 

 

 

 

And joining us at this activity was our newest painter!

 

 

She definitely had a lot of fun!!!

 

 

We had a really fun project using paper cups to make crows! It was a really cute to watch them talk about their birdys and fly them around!

 

 

 

Lastly, we made spooky bats using egg cartons! Everyone thought they were "ooky spooky!" Look for them hanging in the playroom!

 

That's all for this week! See you at the Pumpkin Patch :)

 

Let The Leaves Fall!

This week at Jibber Jabber we have been doing a lot of fun activities about leaves! We've looked at the veins in them and talked about the colors they change to during the fall season! We have done a lot of cool leaf activities! We started out with rubbing leaves! We placed our leaves under paper and rubbed crayons across the paper to make the print of the leaf!

 

 

 

Everyone had a lot of fun observing the different patterns of different leaves! Then we moved on to a more messy activity! We mixed shaving cream and paint to make pretty leaf prints!

 

 

 

 

After we made our awesome prints, everyone had a great time mixing up all the colors and shaving cream! We decided it looked like an avocado explosion! This was a really cool activity to talk about the color changes! Last but not least, we painted with leaves! Taking different leaves from all around the backyard we dipped them in paint and made leaf prints! We had a great time experimenting with the amount of paint we used! The kids found out that a thin layer of paint made a better impression then a thick layer of paint!

 

 

 

 

 

That's all we have to share this week from Jibber Jabber! It's been an exciting transition into Fall and we are looking forward to the rest of it!

 

 

Fall Is All Around Us!

Fall is here! We are all very excited for the changing of seasons! A lot of fun crafts are getting ready to take place and we have decided to start the week with a touch of royalty! All of the kids made leaf crowns! They wore them proudly all day long and played kings and queens!

 

 

 

 

 

Don't they look adorable? It was a fun time for everyone! We also made scarecrow paper bag puppets! These cute little guys were so fun to make! Everyone especially loved gluing his hair on sticking straight out!

 

 

 

We danced with our scarecrows in the playroom singing our favorite scarecrow song, "If I Only Had A Brain," from The Wizard of Oz! It was really funny to see all of the kids checking to see if their scarecrow had a brain!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's been a fun Fall week at Jibber Jabber! :)
