Kinder Realm

I am blessed to live in a state that is very community based and provides many activities for families. We took the opportunity to visit the event provided and both the kids and I learned a lot.


The Kinder Realm provides a craft, small informational class time, and a hike. 






















We have been to two Kinder Realm classes, blue birds and foxes.  

As the kids arrive there is a coloring page for them to do while waiting for the class to fill up.

Then the information about the animal was given.  These were fun facts that I enjoyed hearing too. 





















Real fox fur was passed around for us (even the adults) to discover.  The claws, teeth, and ears were also still intact for observation.

After class was a game or activity.  Picking up worms as a blue bird or playing/jumping with food as a fox. 










Next was craft time.

The kids made caterpillars and puppets



Last there was the hike. 

 On the hike we learned about different plants and kept an eye out for the animals we had learned about. 


The Kinder Realm was a great summer outdoor activity.  I am looking forward to more Kinder Realms next summer!

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 ...

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.
