Letter C

Adam decided today that he wanted to do a letter for craft time today and chose the letter C. I came up with three different things. We did snowmen made of marshmallows and chocolate chips, because it's winter and because circle starts with C. The we did the shape of the letter C with candy and cereal. Lastly we did a sort of science experiement using Colors...drew with markers on coffee filters, sprayed them with water, and watched the colors seperate. It's been fun spending this time with the kids and watching them spot their crafts during the day and talk about them.

Ellie was more interested in eating her craft!

Adam was so focused and did a great job lining them up and making sure it was all covered.

Only candy for Adam...no cereal.

Our color experiment.

The finished products.

Dinosaur Crafts

We've been stuck at home this week so I've been trying to use up some time doing crafts. Adam seems to be enjoying them but it's been challenging finding things Adam will be interested in and that Ellie can do too. Yesterday we did two dinosaur ones...same dino shape, one with handprint spikes and the other with clothespin ones.
