Sydney gave out water beads as part of her Sponge Bob party favors. They are teeny tiny until they absorb water and multiple a number of times (in the past we had other brands that dehydrated after a while and we reused them, these ones are going on a month and still wet and big)

What you need: glue, scissors, paper, paint (we ran out of black and white so made do with mixing primary colors together for a murky color), brush, wiggly eyes, light gray cardstock
We continue to make an alphabet book, when we have free time and interest. To make an elephant, paint your hands. Press them at the top of the paper with the fingers to the top, then turn the paper around and the elephants will be walking right-side up (we found this easier than turning our hands inward and printing them at the bottom- if that makes any sense?). Cut out thin gray cardstock to make ears and a fringy tail. Glue on wiggly eyes. Walah- an elephant!

Fill jar with water. Add dye if desired. Insert the toothpicks around the midline of the cleaned pit. Prop the toothpicks on the edge of the jar making sure one part of the pit is submerged. Wait................................. eventually a sprout will appear and many roots will fill the jar.

Sydney had a Sponge Bob-themed birthday party. Here are the thank you cards we gave for gifts. We used a rectangle sponge, painted it yellow, pressed it to piece of blue paper, glued on wiggly eyes, and made a small red mouth with sticky-backed foam.

First we put blobs of paint at the top of the page. We poked holes with a pin so that we could blow instead of suck the paint to make a flame look. We shook on glitter to make the flame sparkle. Oragami paper was cute into strips and glued under the flames to make candles.

School is cancelled. I found this recipe on Pinterest and wanted to make it while we still have use of the stove. I split the recipe in half for each child (because they wanted to make different colors) to make one full batch.
What you need: stove, pot, spoon, measuring cups; 2 cups baking soda (one box), 1 cup corn starch, 1 1/2 c water, food coloring and/or essential oil optional
Add food coloring/essential oil to water. Mix in pot with corn starch and baking soda. Heat on medium until a ball forms. It's a little sticky at first and very hot to knead so I suggest an adult knead it and pat it flat to cool it quickly for play.
*WHY ARE THE LAYOUT AND FONTS ALL MIXED UP? WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BLOG? It's only letting me upload one photo at a time. argh...

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm on Jan Brett's mailing list. Every-so-often I get a newsletter talking about her upcoming books and where she'll be doing book signings. There's a new book coming out called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mossy-Jan-Brett/dp/0399257829">Mossy</a> and on the back of the newsletter there was a turtle with garden accessories. Kelsey and I cut them out and left them for Sydney to glue on.</span>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00400220637857289341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258636418048365809.post-64926802853387665822012-09-22T09:14:00.002-07:002012-09-22T09:14:29.973-07:00Cutting Ribbon (9/3)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In
Kindergarten, they read The Rainbow Fish and decorated a fish. Sydney
wanted to make one, too so I had to work my magic and come up with a
similar one. They colored them with crayons and added stickers. Kelsey
did some extra trimming with her scissors.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Empty
formula cans were transformed into drums. I cut easel paper to fit
around the can. The girls decorated with stickers. We taped it down to
the can, added pony beads inside, then hot glued the lids on (Kelsey
insisted on ribbon for around her neck so I poked holes in the
sides and thread a ribbon through before gluing on the lid.). Finally,
they used permanent markers to decorate the lids. Chopsticks make
ideal drumsticks!</span></div>

the packaging sack from onions or oranges to make this "brush." We
used primary colors of paint. Sydney amazed me as she swirled each
color combo and called out the secondary colors that she made!</span></div>
