He's Back!

Our fun family Elf on the Shelf, Fizban,  is back for another December month of fun!  The dragons were thrilled to see him back this year. He has already brought a sweet treat and silliness in only 6 days. 

 Week 1 with Fizban
Day 1 he came back with his Elf on the Shelf book to give us a reminder of why he was here and what Santa's rules are. 
Doll Dragon had left Twilight out that night with her hair all in a mess so Fizban helped tidy up her hair. :)
Day 2 Fizban was all webbed! Spider-Man got to him and stuck him to the door with his spider webs.  

 Little Dragon was tickled the next morning when he saw this and was bursting with questions.  'Why would Spider-Man do that?'  
I asked him what he thought. 
"Because Twilight is Spider-Man's honey so he was protecting her" 
Who knew? 

 Day 3 He was in the freezer.  No picture though.  The dragons were searching all over for him and it took until early afternoon for them to find them. But when I opened the freezer to make ice water they saw him and giggles emerged.  The freezer was often opened to check on him to make sure he was doing okay. 

 Day 4 Fizban was sent with a hot coco bar from Santa and Mrs. Claus.   He brought a note saying: 
You two have been so sweet 
Santa wanted you to know
So he sent me with a special treat
to keep you warm from head to toe. 

The hot coco bar was a tray full of: 
  • different flavored hot coco
  • marshmellows
  • candy canes
  • sprinkles
  • mint bark
  • straws
  • sugar cubes
  • strawberry syrup
and of course Fizban!




Day 5 was a surprise for the whole family.  It was the day to check the mail and inside the mailbox was our Elf on the Shelf! 


He was stuffed inside an envelope so we carefully cut him out and out he rolled along with a note.  The note said: 
Low on magic had to ship
Poor Fizban!  He was 'accidentally' touched the a couple times by the dragons and his magic was dwindling. 
So we asked Doll Dragon how do we make someone feel better? 
Love!!!
Such a wonderful answer!  
So we brainstormed how we could make Fizban feel loved and set him up a special bed with special blankets and loved stuffed animals to give him a comfy place to recharge.  

Day 6 this morning we saw a Fizban who seemed to be feeling better.  He was able to fly back to the North Pole and then here again.  When we found him this morning he was hanging on the back of our Nutcracker!

Elephant Faces

Elephant Faces (masks) We used:  Three paper plates Paint or markers Paint brushes Stapler Scissors Yarn First paint the bottom of the paper plate.  While the kids painted I cut the other paper plate in half for the ears. Using the third plate I cut out the textured part of the plate to make the trunks.   Paint (or color) the rest of the pieces.  Staple them together to make an elephant. Cut out small holes for eyes and small holes behind the ears to attach the yarn. Now that the lesson is over I have the masks hanging in the playroom.  They make a neat decoration.

Painting With Squirt Guns

We did this as a Fathers Day project, but it fits in outside play perfectly.   I liked this for Fathers because it was an interactive activity for the kids to do with Jerry to celebrate him and the time they enjoy spending with him. I filled 1 gun with yellow paint and 2 guns with black paint.  The squirt guns we used were from the dollar store and had a decently big hole to pour the paint into.  Some squirt guns have itty bitty holes that make squirting paint into the gun very difficult. Taped off the canvas...and made the kids pose Then the guns were handed to the kids and dad.  Instructions were to shoot the canvas not each other. Very simple. Start squirting!   The squirting went on and on.  I refilled the guns a couple times so the activity could continue.     Jerry also took time with each Dragon to squirt with them.  With a Star Wars theme we were looking at having black as the primary color and yellow as the secondar

Mini Story Boards

Mini Story Boards We used:  Foam Cookie sheets Magnets Paper I found the cookie sheets at the dollar store and loved the idea of the kids telling their own stories using movable magnets.   I cut out flowers with the foam (you can cut out any design and use construction paper instead of foam) and little people then stuck a magnet to the back.  I cut out bugs and stuck magnets to the back of those too.    Then I drew little scenes that would inspire a story and put them on the cookie sheet.  One demonstration and their imaginations took off on their own :)
