The Moon

Today the kids used a marker cap to make craters in the moon!

 

If You Give a Pig a Pancake

We made pancakes! Well ... sort of ;)

The kids used glue and maple flavoring as syrup on their own plate of pancakes!

Bird Seed

Another super easy sensory bin! I put bird seed (for our pet theme), measuring cups, a pitcher and a muffin tin. No real rhyme or reason to the utensils, just things they could scoop and pour with - and they have been having a BLAST!

Pets vs. Not a Pet

Today the kids sorted pets. They had to decide if the animal was a pet or not a pet. Some of them were hard to decide - even if you wouldn't like it as a pet, someone might!

Pets Week - Fishing

We are starting a Pets Unit. One of our activities is to go fishing! The kids using magnet fishing poles to catch fish in the bucket. Then they paperclip them to their matching fish bowl. They need hand-eye coordination and strong finger muscles to do this game!

Noodles!

Last week was "N" week. The kids played with "noodles" in the sensory bin. They had a pasta fork, felt sauce and yarn noodles. 

Dog Bones

Today the kids made groups of dog bones using links. This tied into our nursery rhyme this week - Old Mother Hubbard.

 

Moon Sand

The kids have been playing with 'Moon Sand' during our space unit. If you have never played with it before, it is thicker than real sand and will mold into different shapes. It is great for fine motor skills because it strengthens their hand muscles.

It is super easy to make. It is just flour and baby oil. (8 parts flour to 1 part oil)
