We made a craft that went with the song “5 little ducks went out one day, over a hill and far away”

The kids named each of my ducks. We counted how many are on the bridge, in the grass and in the water.

This was a one on one activity which worked on following directions and using a glue stick and crayon. I love how they turned out.

This is exactly why I love different ages playing together. With pictures to bring it full circle.

We have S fixing the pink castle because he is always watching A fix things.
Then you have the baby playing with people in a house because she watches W and T play with it EVERY DAY.

We all teach each other and we all learn from each other. This is a lesson we need to remember as adults.

Best picture ever!

I ran so fast to get below them to take the picture before they moved on. I thought I was going to have to climb inside hahaha

I am just as sad as the kids when we can’t go outside. All winter long if it was above 25 and not windy we were outside. We only seemed to have stopped wearing our snow gear to stay warm.
The kids worked together for a while on this birthday cake and sang “Happy Birthday” to me. Do you see the candles?

The kids LOVE obstacle courses!

We have climbing slides
Crawling
Walking on unsteady ground
Stepping or jumping over moving object
Crawling with direction change
Climbing stairs
Climb small slide and either go over or under to end it.
And most importantly taking turns!

The rainbows were made one at a time with me. We did one swipe of glue colored paper at a time. The clouds were cotton balls that they pulled apart.

This activity worked color recognition.
Small and fine motor skills
squeezing the glue
pulling apart the cotton balls
picking up the paper
putting it in the glue

The tricky Leprechaun brought the kids a surprise. A large Alphabet puzzle. Only every single letter was wrapped in foil.

It took the kids 45 mins to open all of puzzle pieces. You wouldn’t think foil would make those little fingers work so hard but you would be surprised.

This worked their fine motor skills and letter recognition with phonics mixed in there.

When we can’t go outside the kids love when we break out the rice. Using the kiddie pool has been the best addition to the rice. No more of me stressing about them trying to keep it over the container. It’s also one of the easiest clean ups now.

The best part, the kids love to help set the pool up. It isn’t easy to work as a team but these 3 and 4 yr olds seem to have it down pat.

The kids used sponges to paint their pot of gold. The finished project used contact paper to hold the gold coins. The gold coins were the pieces of cut up coffee filters the kids colored and sprayed with water previously.

This was my first time using actual paint with the baby. She did so good and had so much fun.

To celebrate the end of March, we took our letter shamrocks and matched them with the other sheet.
This worked a little large motor, fine motor and letter recognition.

The shamrocks on the tree are laminated and are perfect for the baby to take off the tree working her fine motor skills as well. The only one I couldn’t find and had to remake was the letter O.

The kiddos always have access to painting on the chalk board with water, they simply have to ask for water if the cup is empty.

The baby loves the foam letters to chew on but the bigger ones had more fun sticking them to the glass. Doing activities like this help kids learn to share space, which isn’t easy when you are 2.

Ohhh the trains!!! I love watching them piece together the tracks.

It was A’s first time playing Hi Ho Cherry O here and he won both games! I think the game is rigged, I have played it at least a 100x and I never win lol
