Tot School

Tot School
We went to VBS every morning this week, so we didn't do a whole lot at home. The kids had fun singing, playing games, and making crafts at VBS and were pretty worn out when we came home.

We played with instruments at home.

The boys also had fun playing with play-doh one day. I gave them feathers to stick in the play-doh.

The boys are really interested in ocean animals, so I decided to do an ocean theme. We read lots of books about ocean life. We also made this starfish.

First, I drew a picture on a starfish (or sea star as Sawyer calls it, several of his books use this term) on a paper sack. Sawyer chose to paint it yellow.

Then I had him put glitter glue on 5 craft sticks.

When everything dried I cut it out and glued on the craft sticks. Here is our finished sea star.
Jax loves whales so I helped them make these whales one day.

The boys tore up newspaper and stuffed a lunch bag. Then I let them paint the bags with blue paint.

I don't even have a picture of the finished product. I will have to take one when I get home. I am currently at my in-laws because our AC is out and we have been having 100 degree weather. To find out what happened in other tot schools this week go here.
