Happy costume and Halloween week!!! 10/27-31st

We had such a great week, exploring Costume week and having a fun Halloween party! First we started off with our favorite Halloween books! 

Then we loved exploring the inside of a pumpkin, I asked one of the children what if felt like, she said "like kool aid" (I'm thinking because of how stick it felt on her skin) :-)

We also made some fun crafts, we painted a milk carton white to create a ghost, we put lights inside of it an placed in our window so everyone can see! 

Another fun way of creating ghost we used our our feet, they look so spooky!

We also talked about candy, we ripped up yellow, orange and white paper to put on a triangular shape and placed the ripped up pieces onto the triangle to create candy corn.

At the end of the week we had our Halloween party!

Here are the list of games we played:

-knock down the ghost tin cans

-We made a spider web in our doorway and the children each through paper at it to see if it would stick.

-Throw a ball into the ghost's face

-Pin the heart on the skeleton

-And wrap the mummy!

At the end of our activities we frosted our home made cookies we made last week!

We also saw when we where playing outside last week a leaf sucker from a truck, the kids loved watching it!

Pumpkin week 10/20-24th

This week we explored pumpkins, we enjoyed looking at different kinds of pumpkins, we compared them, we looked at a big pumpkin and also a little ones too. Each child got one of their own small pumpkins to paint and bring home!

We also traced and cut out pumpkin on paper, and painted it orange.

Another art project we did was painted our hand and made pumpkins that way, the children loved the feeling of wet paint on their hands. Fun sensory!

To get ready for our Halloween party we decorated the front door, we also made cookies for our party next Thursday! We are so excited!! (Remember to click on the pictures to see gallery)

Harvest week Oct 13th-17th

This week we are talking about harvest and what we do for harvest, We made a "garden" in our home living area, the kids loved picking fruits and vegetables. We also did some fun projects, we went on a nature walk and picked up leaves, acorns, pine cones, rocks and more to make a nature collage.

Each child got a strawberry cut out and we painted with kool-aid, The kids could smell it and paint with it, fun sensory!

Another fun project we made native corn, the children each got a cut out of a corn cut out, and bubble wrap, they painted the bubble wrap orange, yellow, and brown after they where done, they placed the bubble wrap onto the paper to make kernels.
