This month with Mother Goose Time we've been learning about winter. We spent the last week talking about tree lines, mountains, hiking, icicles, etc. The kids always like using the monthly theme poster, which I keep hung up at their height all month long.
The kids used aluminum foil to make icicle pictures.
They used eye droppers to drip water colored paint on paper while learning about water drops and melting ice.
They used refrigerated paint to finger paint a paper plate and add white rectangles to make it an igloo. They colored arctic animals to live inside the igloo.
While learning about tree lines the kids painted their own Van Gogh inspired pictures.
They also used triangle shapes, pebbles,cotton balls, and green festoons to make mountain pictures.
The kids had a lot of fun painting ice with watercolors while learning about igloos. They were easy to wash off and repaint when they wanted to redo them, which made for an activity that took up a lot of time.
They got some patterning work by using tree shapes and play dough, which made it extra fun.
They also got math work in by rolling the pocket cube and stacking the same number of cubes into igloo shapes.
The kids worked together to build a big chain, and pretended it was a tree line they had to hold their breath and jump over. They spent a lot of time building the chain and loved jumping over it.
And no week would be complete without a little work in the my little journals.
