We finished up week one of Mother Goose Time's baby animals theme by learning about birthdays and adoption.
During circle time the girls took turns picking animal cards to sing Happy Birthday to.
The girls did some work in their my little journals. We talked about when their birthdays were and they drew pictures of themselves on the covers. They also drew pictures of animals they would want to adopt.
Every monthly box from Mother Goose Time comes with a new book. This months book is Baby Animals Learn and Play. It has photos of animals and actions for the kids to act out, such as swing like an orangutan.
The girls made party hats; Elli decided it was a birthday party for Curious George.
For day 5's invitation to create the girls got paper plates, coffee filters, sequins, markers, and a spray bottle of water. The picture for inspiration was a fish. They really had fun coloring the coffee filters and then watching what happened when they sprayed them with water.
They LOVED making pet rocks to adopt. They painted rocks and glued on googly eyes and pom poms.
We talked about what kind of things you'd need to adopt a pet dog, and then worked on patterning.
Mother Goose Time offers printables online related to the monthly theme. Every month has coloring pages for each day.
We also read some birthday and adoption books. Next week we learn about the different ways animals carry their babies.
