Community Helpers - 6

I made Community Helper Puppets.

Then I let the kids act out some scenarios that might include community helpers.

You can find some to print out HERE

Easy and fun! I laminated mine and each kid got a set to take home.

Mighty Minis

I have 3 small kids who love popsicles.  My youngest (almost 18 months) is just too slow at eating them and I hate the mess.  So I found these at Target for $2.30 and thought I would try them.  They are SLOW MELT popsicles!  They have a little bit of Gelatin in them and are made from fruit juice and they are DELICIOUS!  Plus, I don't have to worry about stains on clothes and they are perfect size for littler ones who are slow at eating freezing ice things!

So here are my younger kids enjoying them.  They are a lot smaller too in size and the sticks are bigger but you know what I didn't care...they were happy and didn't burn in the hot sun while eating them! Hahaha

Old MacDonald

So I found these in a book, and copied them and colored them.  I have written to the Author and Illustrator and they said I can't scan them in for you but if you email me I can send them to you that way.

I then covered them in packing tape and hot glued sticks to the back.

Then we sang the song.

It was fun.

Then they played themselves.

This is how I store them.

I bought these for 33 cents at Target on clearance and then put them in a notebook for the kids to flip through and decide what they want to play with.

If you want a copy email me at valeriewitte@yahoo.com I will send them right away.

Scrapped Farms

This is a really fun activity if you just want to get out aggression! LOL

First tear up a bunch of red paper.

L loved this. B was trying to keep it neat...I wonder where she gets it.

More tearing.

With the glue make a barn shape and then add the torn paper.

See?

I laminated it and then we added some grass and of course the wood slats.

Cute right?

We talked about farms and barns and what they do and who lives in them.

It was really neat to hear what they were coming up with. L was set on telling me that puppies live on a farm.  I think she is right!
