Animals, animals, and more animals!
We concentrated this week on different animals. We matched animal babies with their mommies. We learned different sounds that animals make. We even pretended to be different types of animals.
We found a ladybug!
Yay! I'm holding a ladybug all by myself.
It's crawling up my arm!

We made animal tracks with stampers this week. We also made animal tracks in play dough. We danced to animal music and pretended to be all kinds of animals. We spent some time painting with cups and even used textured paint made with oatmeal. We also played in the sand watching it fall through funnels and driving cars through it. The most fun we had was feeding our baby dolls some real food. We even tried it ourselves and decided we liked it better when we had been babies.
First we rolled out our grass.
Then the animals came.
Look at all of these animals!
Soft sand!
From the spoon to the funnel and back again.
We love to dig!
Table time!
We worked on some fine motor skills
Let's feed some babies!
I have to hit the mouth this time...
Hold the head steady...
Just a little more right here!
Look at my masterpiece!
Just a tad of orange to go with the blue.
What color is this one?
Tearing up tissue paper
Great fine motor skill workout!
Yay! This is fun.

We made all kinds of animals this week. We made an octopus out of paper bags. We made turtles out of egg cartons. We also made some cute pink pigs playing in the mud. We made some goo paint and played with that. We spent some time at the sensory table playing with sand. We also played some drum safari and made different animal sounds. We love to pretend to go different places and explore!
First you take the sand...
then you get a spoonful...
then you funnel it!
My pig is getting so muddy!
Looks like fun...
maybe not so much!
This goo paint is hard to spread!
But it crumbles really well!
Can I have a wipe please?
