Kids thursday activity part 2

 Week 5 (March)

The next week I decided on something simple since the last activity was so big. I brought some lunch bags stencils and colored pencils and crayons and more BEANS! haha! So we had them decorate the paper bag then filled them with beans. I tried to get them to dance and make sounds to music but they were not in the mood for that one! They LOVED to use the stencils even though they had a bit of a hard time with them.

 Austin did like to throw his up in the air until he broke his...

 Week 6 (March)

 This week we focused on counting. I brought cups and but different number of dots. Then they needed to put the right number of  fuzzy's into the cups. It was amazing to hear them count and know how many went in each one.

Week 7 (April)

Baby Animal Days! We have a historical farm near were we live and every year they have a baby animal days were you come and see and pet the babies at a price. Luckily, my husbands parents volunteer there so we were able to get in free and then we divided the remainder of the cost between us, it wasn't too bad except for the weather. As many of you have heard and seen Utah was been having some crazy weather. I think a little more odd than normal. So it was raining the day we went. But it was a good thing we went when we did.it started snowing on the way home and hail storms. The rest of the weekends got worse and they even had to close down the animal days due to the cold.

 We had to wait around for a little bit to wait for Rochelle, who was nice enough to come and bring us our tickets to get in from mom and dad. So here is Andrew, yes Andrew was able to take some time off of school to come with us, waiting in the lobby

Aren't kids funny where they decide to play?

 Austin's choo choo train. For those of you the know my son Austin you know he is obsessive with trains. In fact he didn't want to look at the majority of the animal because we want to watch the train that kept going around in the circle.

 Now if you look at the train you can see Andrew is on it but guess who didn't want to go on the train?!?! Austin. I couldn't believe it! He was happy to watch Daimian and Gavin with daddy go on the train without us and wave at them. Kids can be frustrating...

Gavin ready to call it a day...and we did.

 The kids were so cold by the end of it but it was fun. So fun everyone fell asleep in the car on the way home. :) I love it when that happens!
Week 8 (April)
Egg Olympics
Andrew's family like to have egg Olympic for Easter instead of the egg hunt. It last longer and gives you a good reason to cook so many eggs. I decided to try it out toddler style. First I had they decorate their eggs with stickers and crayons here are the winner

They each did 2 eggs. First we played the classic balance the egg on the spoon. They did an awesome job of this!

Then we did the roll the egg on the floor with our nose or hand. They decided hand was easier

Next we did the wrestling game. This one is hard to explain but you have 2 components with a hard boiled egg each. then with wrist together you count to 3 then knock the eggs into each other. if you egg cracks your out. it was fun. Next we switched to plastic eggs and ahve the who can throw the farthest and make it into the bucket games.

Everyone had a blast, and I was excited it went over well with the little ones. We even had a closing ceremony.

The beautiful sounds of the toilet band. :)

Week 9 (April today)

 

We went outside and enjoyed the little bit of sunshine by playing on the tramp and watching and "helping" the neighbors with the garden. Another easy and entertaining time together. With lots of talking which is always a plus!
