Sun Rocks!

Day 2 of the week. The theme this week is Hot Stuff!!

Project - Sun Rocks. We are temporarily without a house for about a month, so the kids and I are staying at my parents while my husband works on remodeling our new house - in our new town! So, today Connor did this project with his cousin Caitlyn and his Aunt Kinsey! Caitlyn painted 3 rocks - she seemed to really have fun creating different suns. Directions: Find flat smooth rocks. Use orange and yellow paint to paint the sun on each rock. Materials Needed - flat, smooth rocks, paint brushes, yellow and orange paint

Lauren's finger painting

Project - Connor and Lauren haven't used finger paints in a long time, so I thought today would be a great day to have fun with the paints. I gave them each a blank piece of 11/13 white construction paper. I squeezed red, yellow, blue, and green finger paint onto plates. I set out paintbrushes, Popsicle sticks and pipe cleaners and dinosaur cookie cutters to create with. I asked them to make an outdoor scene (What do you see outside?) They had a lot of fun painting their pictures. * We used dinosaur cookie cutters, because they are really into dinosaur stuff this week!* Materials Needed - 11/13 white construction paper, finger paints, paint brushes, Popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, cookie cutters.
