Ice Trapped Supers

Aside from the super hero training this was one of my favorite activities to watch the kids do. I knew this was going to be a fun activity and once the heroes were frozen I had a hard time waiting to do the activity.

We had to wait a couple days because of rain but finally the weather was perfect for some outside fun.

Now that my supers were trained it was their turn to save their favorite super hero friends.

Set up:

put the heroes in a container and fill it with water then place it in the freezer.
fill squirt guns with hot/warm water
pull to frozen hero ice block out of the freezer
squirt the ice with the hot water or 'laser beams' as we called it to free the heroes

We did this activity around the same time as Jerry's break so he was able to join in the super hero saving!

They tried standing up first then got down closer to the ice block for faster melting.

Once the ice was looking thin Jerry picked up the block and threw it on the ground and shattered the ice

Doll Dragon thought this was awesome! She enjoys seeing change, especially change she causes so she picked up some of the supers who still had a big of ice on them and tried shattering it by throwing them on the ground.

Little Dragon just kept squirting. He is a huge fan of guns so he was perfectly content holding on the the gun.

Once the ice was shattered each person focused on one hero to free.

When the supers were all free there was some playing with the squirt guns

and some straight up shooting the super heroes.

I guess you could call this an example of power

"I will hold you here while I shoot you!"

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 :)
