Artsy Fun Learning

Just a few fun things Graham and Parker have done lately!


Counting with dollar tree/ target dollar bin plastic reusable ice cubes





Spooning marbles into empty water bottles, and then they made up fun marble games too!
They made up a game where they make the marbles go across the tray, and then try to trap one with the bottle while the marbles are moving all over the tray!















Building letters! You can get them HERE!








I made them a jellyfish decoration out of iridescent beading cord, iridescent (cardstock) scrapbook paper, a bowl from the dollar tree, tape, and hot glue gun!  I folded the paper in half and cut it into double sided shapes. It's kind of it's own species of jellyfish. I am calling it the rainbow jellyfish. Then poked a hole into the top center. Then I put the cord through and knotted it underneath. I taped the cord and then taped the shapes closed from the inside. Then I hot glued the other end of the cord to the bowl., which by the way came off the spool curly (bonus!!) The cord was from the section at Michaels where they keep the kids beading materials. Like for friendship bracelets.  The bowl was from a 4 pack, or 6 pack at the dollar tree... (can not remember.) We use these bowls for a lot of things with our learning activities. I had an extra though so, I decided to make them a jellyfish with it!  I think this is a craft you can do with a child ages 3-5 or older. I just wanted to make them something, It was not a pain to make but it would be slightly difficult for a child to do the hot gluing to the bowl part. I glued on the decorative pattern seams on the bowl.








Playing with their fiber optic color changing light. You can get it HERE!

paper clips, rubber bands, and hula hula tiki men

Sometimes simple can be so complex! Today, Graham and Parker are playing with light table geo boards. My original light table geo board post is here, for reference.  I found some cute neon mini rubber bands for our light table geo boards. We were using silly bands and some other random small rubber bands before.  They are also paper clipping number flash cards. This is a 2 in 1 skill, learning to paper clip and counting!  Not last but least, for the past 2 days Graham and Parker have been playing with these cute tiki men cups along with these even cuter little flamingo and palm tree neon stirrers.  They have been using them on the light table with the neon shooters for stacking, counting, making little fancy scenes and designs, etc.  lotsa fun!

Paint, Bounce, & Explore

 Graham and Parker have been inventing their own games lately. Here are two from yesterday!
Body Bounce Painting & Sink or Float Submarine

Being super cute


Parker's own invention....  Body Bounce Painting.  He got out the bottles of tempera paint, squired different colors on to the trampoline, then began bouncing, bouncing on his but, rolling, and running through the paint!

Fun and good creativity!!

Feeding the fish

pouring colored water

twisting the lid on

teamwork

Graham decided to test out the action figures to see if they would sink or float

The green man floats, the little man at the bottom sunk
