Under the Sea!

Remember when I said I like using paper plates for crafts? Just checking! we had so much fun making Ocean creatures and talking about the ocean! On top of all the crafts we did we also of course had an under the sea sensory tub that I of course forgot to take a picture of! Next time!! Look how fun all these guys are though!!







Halloween Crafts



For Halloween we have had a fun packed month! I am bummed it is almost over! There are so many fun crafts to do in October!! We filled the whole house up with pumpkins, ghosts, spiders, skeletons, all Halloween!! It has been a blast!

We also played pumpkin number matching games, Lowercase to Uppercase matching games, Scary word matching games. We counted legs on our spiders. Sang and did a craft for 5 Little Pumpkins and counted monster eyes! Its so easy to be able to add academics to all these fun crafts!

Can you tell I love paper plate crafts?? We had so much fun making all these crafts. The little dude has so much fun getting messy and having a cool texture to touch after. Everything we do I get a "Can I touch it?" after we are done. WELL OF COURSE YOU CAN!. I definitely think the ghosts were his favorite and they were so fun to do.
