Golly Good Group of G Activities!

Weekly Review
(All the activities we did that I didn't have time to blog about)


This was a hit! 
As always I close the door and prepare the bath while the kids are jumping up and down with excitement outside the door asking if it is ready yet.  
I think it is my favorite part :)
When it is all ready I open the door slowly and ask "are you sure you need a bath?  You aren't that stinky."
They scream "yes! yes!'"
Spencer adds in "I stinky, ewwww"

To make this bath:
I made clean dirt and put drops of food coloring in it.  I left the stirring up to the kids. 
I stuck foam flowers to the walls and popped the fake flowers off the stems and put them in the water. 
I dyed the water green, but you can't really tell in the picture. 
Lastly I set out garden/sand toys and some giraffes.


Paper Town

With Spencers obsession with cars I thought that a paper town would be a perfect station!  

My idea came from G is for Go and started off by making letter G roads. 
Athena and Spencer each decorated their own G roads while I made the number 3. 






 Learning shapes with goldfish and counting with goldfish. 
These green treys we used to count the gold fish were 10 cube treys.  
We counted by fives! 


Story boards really encourage creative story telling.  
These are personal story boards but they can be used together as well.  


Athena enjoyed the butterflies and the people. 
Spencer built a bridge for his cars to get across the river. 

We explored Gak


And placed orders in the flower shop. 


I wanted to do this activity multiple times but the kids tore apart the flowers :(.  


These are are activities for the letter G!

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 blac...

Teeth Craft

This craft went with our meat eater unit you can see here I was having a difficult time thinking of activities for meat eaters.  I didn't want the sole focus to be on dinosaurs because carnivores and herbivores is a way to categorize many animals today. But everything I was running into was dinosaur related.  Finally I found this craft!  Materials:    paper template of a carnivore and herbivore (I drew a hippo and t-rex head outline) page of teeth scissors glue markers Little Dragon cut out the heads and then the mouth pieces.  Then he cut out the teeth and glued them inside the mouth To finish it he drew eyes on the head and a tongue on the inside of the mouth.  Little Dragon was very excited to see the finished animals and open their mouths to look at their teeth. We wrote what the animal was on the inside This was a fun easy craft that helps identify the difference in ...

Paint Squirt Gun Fight

I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to do this activity ever since I saw a post about painting with squirt guns. Paint squirt gun fight!  And it was AMAZING!  I first bought an 8 pack of large boys white t-shirts.  I wanted the shirts to fit all of the kids and I wanted them to be able to save the shirts for the future. The 8 pack was perfect. I filled the water guns up with paint and a pinch of water.  Each gun had a different color so we could determine a 'winner'.  I squirted each 'player' with their color first.  So they knew their color and to demonstrate where to aim.  Talking about the aim was very important.  All of the kids involved were 4 and above.  Aim had to be in the tummy or the back.  No faces, bottoms, heads/hair, or legs. We didn't want paint in eyes, noses, or mouths. The other places would be more difficult to clean and giving two aiming places was simple.        ...
