Wreaths and People

Today is the last day of SHAPES because we have such a huge giveaway tomorrow!

So we did something simple but cute with HEARTS.

Cut a bunch of hearts out on different color construction paper, then cut a hole in a paper plate.

Then glue hearts to paper plate.

Then add glitter, because everything needs glitter.

Tada!

Then we had heart snacks.

Then we made heart people.

Diamond Lizards

So today is TRIANGLE day!

We talked about lizards and what they do and why they are here then we made Triangle Backed Lizards.

Use painters tape, and watercolors.

Then paint, and paint, and paint.

Let them dry.

Then peel the tape and freehand a lizard shape. use the painted scraps for the leggs, add eyes and a tongue and here it is...

You could do any type of painting with painters tape except wall painting, trust me I am a pro at painting interior on houses and masking tape is the best!

Have a great day!  Don't forget the HUGE giveaway on Thursday...prizes are over $500!

Piggy Banks

Its CIRCLE day, and we decided to learn about CYLINDERS as well.

So you need to start by coloring, painting, or stamping a piece of construction paper.

Then you round up a few of these...

Then you tape colored construction paper to each end and then tape the colored on to that...

Everyone gets a turn...

Then cut a hole in the lid...

Then add the monies...

Fun, recycled materials, cute and FREE!

Tell your friends today...There is a giveaway on Thursday!!!!!

My first Uno

I bought this a while ago and have been dying to break it open for a while!

So this is our RECTANGLE for the week! :)

It says for 3 and up, but my 2 year old had no problem playing this game.

It was fun and at Target it was only $2.50.

It was also nice to break up the projects with a game.  We played several rounds.
