Elf Continued

The Elf on The Shelf continued to bring us giggles and gifts for the month of December. 

Week 2 
 Day 7- Fizban was found in the bathroom with a small message written on the mirror with toothpaste. 


Day 8- With a busy month we were a bit late getting decorations up so Fizban helped get us started by initiating decorating.

      









Day 9- We woke to Fizban reaching for the star. Crooked star that is. 
Day 10- The sneaky Elf made it onto the children's bedroom to watch over them as they slept. 
Day 11- Fizban was at play this morning sack racing with his stuffed friends. 

Day 12- Our friendly family elf brought gifts! Stickers for Little Dragon and gems for Doll Dragon.
The Dragons woke before me on this weekend morning to find their stickers.  They promptly got to using them.  In their excitement they played with Fizban, which was revealed to me by the dragons themselves.   
Fizban had already been low on magic last week.  So this time he was out! He stayed there under the tree for three days unable to report back to Santa.

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

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.

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 the teeth between carnivore an
