Alphabet Exercise Game

Week 17

We've just moved and are still in boxes so this week we'll be having fun being creative in our adventures. 

 

Today we've been able to find hands on fun and some fun worksheets I was able to dig out of my boxes. 

I had to throw Rarity's lovely hair style in.  Just out of the bath and for some reason her hair has so much statistic.  The one of the left definitely shows better.  Such a silly hair day.  Then to top it off she didn't want me to do her hair.  It's ok though because she's going through a phase that she has to wear a hat all day and all night.  Yup when she's sleeping.  Guess I'm going to have to invest in some cute hats since that's all she'll let me do with her hair. 

Sensory Fun

I was so excited to find these rocks.  They've been in storage for a while.  My Grandpa gave me these when I was little and I still have them.  While I was looking for something fun for the girls to do I thought these would be fun for them to play with.  They loved playing with them.  They sorted, counted, and found their favorite one. 

We talked about which ones were smooth and rough and what colors they were.

 My girls thought it was quite the treasure find.

 Movement activity:

With my limited resources I did however find my masking tape.  

We used these tape lines to jump over. Eventually it turned into a Red light, Green light game instigated my Fluttershy.

 Next we rearranged the tape to make and path to follow. 

 Creative Play: Weird Object

What can you do with this?

 Spy glass

 Lets see if we can get it on your leg!

 I love watching my girls take a piece of garbage and make something of it.

Musical Squares

Fun with Squares

 Our ideas came from preschool palace.

Today we make brownies and are planning on cutting them into squares.  We cheated and used a Betty Crocker mix.  Sorry no yummy recipe this time. 

Fluttershy's picture is on the right and Rarity is on the left.  Surprisingly they don't look much different.  I was sure you'd see a difference between two years.  These are our square mosaic pictures.  When Fluttershy gets older I'm going to make a picture suggestion (like a house) and see what she comes up with.  Rarity was thrilled to stick all these sticky squares onto her paper.  

Musical Squares
We tweaked this came a bit for a smaller crowd.  It plays like musical chairs only we use colored squares.  We used our foam letter squares.  Instead of removing a square every time the music stopped I had them freeze.  It was a more of a get them up and move game.  Hopping around the circle like little bunnies. 

Sock basketball

Week 13 : Day 2

Play-  Sesame street game

 

Nothing is funner for the kids than finger painting.  Here they are flying free.   

Futtershy's masterpiece.

This is Fluttershy's first attempt at a family picture.  It's a bit hard to tell but she's got the body and arms and eye drawn.  Some of us has legs.  Unfortunately non of us have heads.  Oops.  She did get Daisy 4 legs though.  As I watched her do this she was telling me who was who and saying what she was drawing. 

Fine Motor Skill:

Write "My Family" on the bottom of a blank piece of paper.  Have your child draw his/her family.  Your child will be doing this activity periodically throughout the curriculum.  Write the date on the back of the picture and save the picture to compare each time.  The pictures should become more detailed with time. 

Gross motor skills-

Play basketball with a rolled-up sock and a laundry basket. 

Rarity decided it was funner to sit in the basket and get hit by the flying socks.

Starfall.com

We love playing on starfall.  We played the silly turkey game and counted bears. 

Rainbow Dancers

Week 12: Day 3

 This is what we did for our shapes activity.

 Character Education: Responsible Activities

Even though the child is young, they still have responsibilities.  Discuss and list the responsibilities that everyone in their family has.   We watched Rosa takes responsibity then did our cleaning up coloring page

Gross Motor Skills Activity

Ribbon Dancing - Attach ribbons, streamers or scarves to the ends of a ruler, dowel, or paper towel holder.  Hold the ribbon swirling it from side to side, up and down, etc.  Be sure to switch hands.  This activity improves hand-eye coordination.
