It's November! Caley is going to learn about God's blessings and provisions and Thanksgiving in playgroup so I wanted to do some activities to reinforce what she's learning. The last few days we've been making pilgrim hats from styrofoam cups and reading some Thanksgiving stories. I got the "recipe" for the craft from here and changed a few things (pipe cleaners for the buckle). Of course ours aren't as pretty as the picture on that website, but it was still fun to make hats!
I'm sure the little Pilgrim girls wore pink on their hats (and ate hot dogs)!
Amelia wouldn't let me take a picture with a hat on her head. But she did do this at lunch today:
I made this Pumpkin face for playgroup a while ago and finally pulled it out for the kids to play with. The best part is that it was part of Caley's "school" today. Gross motor skills, following directions, and sharing are important for her to learn. Plus she had a blast and so did Amelia! Bonus!
After throwing the beanbags the normal way, I suggested she try some other ways like from far away, from behind, or on her head like above. Then I pulled out the Home Depot paint sticks and she chopsticked the bags into the face. I was surprised at how well she did this! She didn't get frustrated and concentrated quite well.
