Is it mess or art?

 

Lesson Pathways Letter H:

Painting with pudding and crayon art

They make a cute letter H.

Hopping starts with H.

So does house

I let the girls make their own chocolate pudding to 

practice writing the letter H in.

Carefully pouring the mix.

Oops, guess we'll try it slower next time. That's ok, we're learning.

Fluttershy is getting better at stirring.

Starts out innocently enough.

Wrote in a few letters before..........

Oooohhhh look at my hands.

Then, what does it taste like?

Sine writing with it was not as inviting as eating with it

I gave them spoons.

I rate this activity 4 stars because of the look on each 

of their faces.

This wasn't in Lesson Pathways lesson today, but I've

been wanting to try this.  Using a electric griddle set on the lowest

setting you have and cover it with tin foil.   (I had mine on two marks lower than warm)

My griddle was warm enough to melt the crayons, but not burn anyone.

Place a large piece of construction paper on the griddle and start coloring. We found that if you press harder on the crayon it melts better.  And if you leave in on the paper 

for a little bit it starts to melt and can make really neat drawings.  

Above we melted a few colors and went over them again with a white

crayon making swirls.

I can't say enough good about this fun way to color.  It was really a fun art activity.

One crayon activity led to another.  

Melted crayon art

Finished work of art.  This was so much fun.  You could get more creative and turn the board as well making the melted crayon make designs too.

Hunt through your house and  books with a magnifying glass to see how many H's you can find.

With the left over crayons we took a box lid and lined it with tin foil and a masking tape walls.

With the blow dryer again proceeded the melt the remaining crayons.  Creating one large multi colored crayon.

You can do this in the oven too, but since we had been

playing with the hair dryer I thought it would be fun.

Adding another page to the alphabet book.

 Fluttershy learned how to play go fish today.  Every kid needs to learn this game. It's a classic.  She did really well for her first time. 

Letter F Hunt

 Scavenger Hunt for the letter F.  Plus more letter F fun.

For our letter F activity day here are a few of the things we did today:

Make Letter F using forks

Since Fluttershy knows her letters so well I gave her the forks and asked her to make the letter F which she quickly did.  Rarity needed a little help but caught on quickly.

Introduce Same or Different

Gather 2 different pairs of shoes and place them in front of you.

Hold up the shoes that are alike and tell your child that they are the same.

Take a shoe from each pair and explain to your child that while they are both shoes that they are different.

I had my kids hunt out two items that are the same in the house and two items that are different.

 

Letter F Hunt

Write the letter F (capital and lowercase) on a piece of paper and tape it to your child's shirt.

Give your child a magnifying glass and tell him or her that he or she is now a letter F detective.

Explain that his or her mission is to hunt through the house and find all the letter F's.

Tell your child to look in books, on signs, posters, and other places where there are words.

 As you can see this was their favorite activity of the day.  After the first find they were hooked.
