We made apple smiles for snacks with apple slices, mini marshmallows and peanut butter.
We went on a field trip to the airport. We played a game we called Alligator Food. I drew squares on the driveway (like hopscotch) and numbered them. The first child (called the food) would roll the dice and move that many squares. Then the 2nd (the alligator) would roll the dice and move that number. If the "alligator" caught the "food", the "alligator" won and the game was over. We'd start again with the 2nd child going 1st. If the "food" made it to the end without being caught they won. The boys played quite a few rounds of this game! The boys made ants out of egg cartons. First they painted them, then glued on eyes and stuck in pipe cleaners for the legs
and antennas. Then, because they're boys, they had ant fights!
To work on the color blue we went color shopping. They each took a turn (Little boy needed some help) pushing the cart from room to room collecting blue things to put in their cart. We made it a race to see who could find more blue things within a time limit.
We turned a letter 'A' into alligators by drawing on eyes and gluing on teeth. We also did coloring and activity pages from different workbooks I had.
Lastly, we made apple muffins to share with Daddy.
It was really great for all of us. Big Boy worked on writing his letters and numbers a lot and Little Boy can now pick out the letter 'A' from a group of letters. And I had lots of fun making memories with my kiddos!
Some of these activities I came up with on my own, others I found on the Internet. A couple of sites I found that are full of great ideas are: http://www.oopseydaisyblog.com/mommy-school and http://www.preschoolexpress.com/
