It's Summer!
I love summer, it is my favorite time of year, but it can get crazy if you don't have a schedule and plans to entertain the children.
Here is our first activity theme day:
OCEAN DAY!
We also made crabs and turtles out of seashells. The children loved making these but the learning component was harder to integrate. It was more of a craft project. The same thing was true for the toilet paper octopi, but the children got to be more creative with these. These activities took us about 3 hours to do all of them. Here is the address for the ocean jars: http://www.icanteachmychild.com/make-ocean-zones-jar/.

We also painted fish with celery. I think this would be a great activity for a preschool or kindergarten class. You could use the activity with a unit on fish or oceans and read the book "The Rainbow Fish" and talk about differences and how everyone is special.
Celery Painting The kids came up with some pretty cool mixed colors. |
