Send a Hug

Is there someone you haven’t seen in awhile that you would like to say “I’m thinking of you” to? I know I haven’t seen my Mom and Dad since February, and we are missing each other a lot. Consider making a special “hug” out of paper that you can send to your loved ones. Imagine their surprise when they open this BIG message!

Recipe of the Week

In this week’s recipe, you can use your imagination and your preferred fruits to make Rainbow Fruit Kabobs! What other fruit could you use to make a rainbow? Can you make a Rainbow Vegie Kabob?

Silly Pictures

Last week I showed you how to cut magazine pages into shapes to make new pictures, this week, I cut out different pictures to be put together in a new, crazy way!

Perler Beads

Many of you have told me that you have Perler beads at home. Here are two patterns that you can duplicate on a square template to make something new.

Science - Food from trash- Potato

If you haven’t grown potatoes, now is a great time to give it a shot!

All you need to get started is a glass jar, a few toothpicks, a potato or sweet potato, and some sunshine. Full instructions can be found on This Website

Active/fun - Ice Play

Fill ice cube trays or small plastic containers with small lids or toys and water and place in the freezer. Once water is frozen, pop out the toy-cubes and place in a tub, tray or even in the bathtub. Children enjoy stacking, or chipping at the ice!

Literacy - Playdough writing

With your favorite playdough recipes children can practice letter recognition and formation. One way to make letters is by rolling the dough into snakes, and then using these snakes to shape letters.

Another fun way to write letters in playdough is to use small beans, beads, pebbles, glass gems or other small items placed onto rolled out dough.

Extend this by writing messages to each other, see if you can guess the letter before another person is finished, or practice spelling words!

Art - Sharpie on Foil

Wrap aluminum foil around a paper size piece of cardboard and tape it down on the backside to hold it in place.

Allow your child to use a black permanent marker to draw loops or a simple design on the foil, then using colored permanent markers, color in the spaces or create a different design in each space.

Drawing on aluminum foil is a unique and exciting experience for many children!
