We started the week making colorful seahorses from Mister Seahorse. We mixed paint colors into shaving cream, then pressed the mixture onto a seahorse cut out. When it dried, we added eyes, and hair! What a messy but fun project!
We continued working on our colors and numbers, matching colorful circles to a a colorful caterpillar, and counting caterpillars on leaves.
We had fun with the sensory bin, finding airplanes in the clouds (like in Little Cloud) and looking for chameleons and snakes in the the "dirt" (The Mixed-Up Chameleon and Will You Be My Friend?)
We played a matching game, using pictures from The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and worked on our fine motor skills by picking up "clouds" with tweezers.
We talked about what it means to be grouchy (The Grouchy Ladybug). Here are some of our best grouchy faces!
We painted the covers of our Eric Carle books, mixing different colors just like Eric Carle!
We dot painted caterpillars, and made grouchy ladybugs by coloring them red, them dot painted black circles on them.
We even made caterpillars out of playdough and pompoms!
And yesterday we baked butterfly cookies that we are going to decorate today.
We always have fun when Morah Lilly comes!
Each child had a chance to spin a "cocoon" and see what it is like to break free and become a beautiful butterfly!
We can't wait for the caterpillars to turn into butterflies!
Shabbat Shalom!
