For our music activities, we used our instruments as well as our ribbon dancers. These were inspired by this site and were made with Mason jar rings and leftover Christmas ribbon. I had a couple of my girls try them out as crowns this week as well.
Our table activities included a rainbow number tracing activity found here, a gem transfer activity with a worksheet from this site, our bead pattern stacking toy, a tweezer activity with pom-poms and color matching with our folder game from last week.
We also took time to revisit an art process with shaving cream and green food coloring to marbleize shamrock shapes.
Some of our sensory table activities included sailing green ice boats and containers, finding treasure in the rainbow rice and in the split peas and beans.
Free play at the light table included our colored straws. color paddles and gems.
Some of the highlights of the week included a balloon race inspired by this site, making a rainstick out of paper towel tubes, tooth picks, duck tape and foam stickers along with cleaning pennies with a vinegar/ salt combination along with ketchup. We also used a graph from this site with Lucky Charms.
We also had a surprise visit from a trickster this week.
Join us next week as we explore Spring. Until then, have a great week!
