Airplanes

Last week while the airshow was in town we did an airplane story and craft. We read Amazing Airplanes, and it just helped my kids become more obsessed with wanting to fly to TN to see their Gran Gran.

Then we did this really cute airplane craft. We started by taping an airplane stencil to paper. Then we used and roller with blue paint to paint the entire paper. Afterwards, (while still wet) we remove the plane stencil from the paper and glued on cotton ball (clouds). Sorry, I didn't get any pictures of the kids painting, my camera was MIA at the time.

A story plus art equals a GREAT Start!

Angel Craft

We got the book Albasters Song by Max Lucado from the library this week. My kiddos really like it! I have been planning on having the kids make footprints angels, but just haven't gotten to it yet. Well, today I am one IMPRESSED and PROUD Mama!!

Aidman saw some styrofoam plates and said "I need scissors, and glue, and glitter so I can make an angel". I am SO happy that I listened and gave it all to him right away (sadly I don't always do that and this has showed me that I NEED to!!). When he finished he asked for a pipe cleaner halo.

Seriously, I am THRILLED about his creativity. I did ask him if he'd ever made or seen one of these angels before and he said that he made angel wings like that at preschool last week. But still, to see something and ask for all the materials and then make it by himself was pretty good.


Lyssy of course, wanted to do the same thing as her brother. She decorated everything herself, I cut it all for her (only because styrofoam is hard to cut), and she put it together.

Aa Activities

MTM- Apples

Todays Muffin Tin Monday is all about the Apple! We had apple cookies; turkey, cheese, and apple wrap; apple spritzer; apple smiles (apples, peanut butter, marshmallows); apple salad (lettuce, apples, mixed nuts/seeds,raisins, cranberry vinaigrette) ; and applesauce.


The kiddos arrived home from preschool and had this waiting for them on the table, they were so excited!

The apple smiles were a big hit. The salad was not with them, but I LOVED it!!
