What does school or teaching look like for your household?

Creating bubble foam paint…
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup dish soap
Mix til it’s a foam
Place in containers add in some old paint brushes and hours of fun will be had…

Note if you have a bubble machine the bubbles then stick to the solution foam mix and add extra play
The kids loved the shapes the bubbles made when they landed in the foam mix

Making our own flower seed bombs today!!!
So we can spread them and watch them grow into tons and tons of flowers 🌸💕💕💕
If you want to do it yourself it’s easy

Water
Good soil
Air dry clay
( mix all that up to a moldable paste mixture)
Roll out some balls
Finger hole in the center
Place your seeds inside
Close it up
We wrapped ours in paper bag strips to help keep the shape
Place in a sunny area out of the rain to dry ( 2-3 days)
And done…
They are able to be thrown anywhere you want to see flowers grown!!!

Great for the kids to do and it is messy but so worth it!!!
Enjoy!!

Today’s episode of preschool day 1
Well it went accordingly 😂😂

Pre school is starting this week here at home and the kids are so excited!! Stay tuned for activities and things you can do at home with your little ones!!!

We did some outside learning
And I think it was a big hit

🙌 who else agrees!!

I am starting to gather books for the kids and base crafts and activities off of these books… if you have any preferences of books or want me to do some crafts and ideas to do with your toddlers feel free to leave a comment of the book and author or a picture of the book and I will start to post these crafts!!!

I found these really neat free printable pre k flash cards and wall posters online free... i am waiting in my laminate sheets to come on Monday and I just made awesome cards from home! Best part is the kids can use a dry erase marker on them and practice writing

cute little idea I found to do with the kids since fall is almost here...
Hanging Leaves
When dipped in wax, colorful leaves can be preserved through this season and beyond. We clustered a group to suspend in a window perfect for greeting visitors. Stands of monofilament keep them from falling a second time.
MATERIALS
Colorful leaves
Bleached beeswax
Double boiler
Monofilament
Clothespins
Slowly melt bleached beeswax over a double boiler; never allow the wax to boil. Dip leaves in wax one at a time, holding by stem. gently shake off excess wax.
Hang leaves on clothespins to dry. Some may be dipped again, depending on the desired look; let dry between coatings. Hang finished leaves from lengths of monofilament.

Diy mud kitchen for the summer time win. So simple and easy to make. Just use materials that you already have and then the dollar tree for the odds and ends. Funnels with an old cut off piece of hose.. is a huge hit with the kids. Best part is this is great for all ages!

----->Explaining COVID-19 to kids
So I found this pretty neat website ( https://kidshealth.org/en/kids/coronavirus-kids.html ) it is so easy to explain what is going on and how to properly keep themselves and everyone else protected. It really makes it easy for kids to understand. Also I posted below a link to doing yoga at home for the kids. It might be able to help keep the stress at low levels, and if your children are as clumsy as I am, it will be a great laugh.
