Preschool

This week in "Jammie School":



Tumble Bunnies. This was fun. I found this at http://familyfun.go.com/easter/easter-crafts/all-easter-crafts/tumble-bunnies-1001208/. Easy. It made a fun little toy that Maia played with over and over and over again. We have a stack of boxes that made a nice ramp for the bunny to tumble down. You might have something better than boxes.

We started this but never finished. I traced Maia's body (kind of hard when she's wiggling) onto butcher paper. I cut it out and she was going to put clothes on it and a face but we never quite got there.
We did make some handprint bunnies and sponge painted the grass on. This was fun. Anytime we deal with paint, it's fun.
We also went to the Malden Public Library close to our home. This was interesting:
I've never seen a failed elevator certificate. Maybe because if it has failed, they don't let people ride in it. Hmm...no one stopping this elevator from being used by the public.

Anyway, there is a puppet show corner of the kid's section of the library for kids to play with. Maia especially liked the dragon and crocodile. She put on a little show for me.

We also did some "paint with water" pages for fun.
Maia colored a pizza. She made sure I knew that there were BLUE pepperonis, BLUE pickles, BLUE cheese and THAT'S IT!
We did some counting again. I actually found some cute counting cards at http://mamasmonkeys.blogspot.com/2011/04/pizza-tot-pack.htmlWe also played a "Cars" alphabet game. (I found this at the same blog above) I would call out a letter and Maia would have to cover the letter with a peanut.
This is a rare occasion. So, I wanted to remember that she does take naps...once in a while.


We went to Costco! It felt so nice to go somewhere familiar. We had a good ol' hot dog and soda lunch.
We made these little Rice Krispy treat nests and put a little Peep birdie in it along with some Reese's peanut butter eggs.

Maia did some number matching with plastic eggs and an egg carton too. She rocked it. It's the letters that we're still working on.Here's a little clip of her Tumble Bunny.
