Hands down...

 


Today we had some fun with ghosts!! We made these little ghost hand prints which were really fun. The black marker we used was a washable one so unfortunately it looks a little green in placed but Evie had a lot of fun making these and she also had fun painting my hands and making me make ghost hands too. 😂



While those were drying we made some ghost faces on coffee filters to play a fun game...



Ghost Races!! I gave Evie a straw and then we both blew the ghosts across the floor to try to see who could be the fastest. This was a real WINNER. She played over and over and over and when we finally were tired of that we put the straws under the ghosts and blew them into the air to watch them fly. Super easy, cheap, and really fun one! :)

Seed paper...

Image
  Today we made some seed paper! It was chillier out today so we tried to squeeze this one in before it got TOO cold. Yesterday we shredded up some paper we got from Nana and soaked it in some water.  Then Evie got to add some dye into the mix to try to make it look pink. This worked pretty well but it wasn't as bold when the paper dried later. She had fun mixing it up and then we took it to the blender to get it really nice and pulpy.  After that we took it outside to smoosh out the water over a screen we made. Last we turned them out onto towels and Evie got to add seeds. I know you can add them into the pulp mix as well but I didn't want them to sprout and the paper is going to be wet for a few days at least since it's chilly and rainy out now. Once these are done we will cut then into shapes and use them in her bee garden next month. She really had a lot of fun with this one and it was such a cheap and easy thing to do. When I was a kid we once made paper in an art cl...

Arts AND Crafts...

Image
  Today we had art day and worked on some fun projects together. I told Evie this morning that it was arts and crafts day and she was SUPER excited because other than STEM day, arts and crafts are her favorite. We started off this afternoon with some potato stamping. I set this up while Evie was doing her quiet time and when I presented her with the paint, canvas, and potato she said to me "Mama I thought that potato was my snack!" 😂😂 She was definitely relieved to find out it wasn't for eating.  She had a lot of fun smashing it around and combining the colors to make her picture. After we finished our potato painting we had some free play and made chalk houses for her LOL dolls for awhile. We also made use of the sunny day (the first in awhile!) to plant a tree in the yard together. But as the evening wore on and dinnertime came around she told me  "Mama you said it was arts AND crafts day and we did art but we didn't do a craft!!" So we broke out some pe...

Ice, Ice Baby...

Image
    This week along with weather we've been talking about climates and how we are all adapted and suited for where we live. Today we switched up our sensory table for a snowy, icy, arctic one. I wasn't sure how Evie would like this one because while she loves water play she does NOT like to be sticky or slimy. The snow (which is fake snow made from powder ) isn't cold at all but it gets sort of gel like when you mix the two.  She had fun balancing the animals on the ice and digging them into the snow for awhile and then she cautiously asked if she could mix the snow and water. When I told her of course she can she was ecstatic. She found that adding snow to water caused the snow to "melt" and adding the water to the snow melted it down into gelatinous pools of blue "ice".  After lunchtime we took this one outside and she played with it for HOURS. Tossing the snow, making "food" out of the mixed snow and ice and pretending her Chelsea doll was o...
