G Activities

Here are some of this things we did last week.

 We made green, glitter, gel bags.  Instead of just putting green food coloring in, I did blue and yellow so that the girls could see how green was made.

 Davey got her own bag.
Here she is playing with it the following morning at breakfast.

 We made a graham cracker house with green frosting.

 

 I saw a cute idea to add googly-eyes to magazine pictures here but did not have any great magazines around, so instead Malia put googly-eyes on a Maisy book we had.  It turned out really cute and Malia really enjoyed the activity.

 She put together a giraffe puzzle that I picked up at a resale shop (for $1).

 We played this gingerbread dice game.  The hardest part for Malia was not counting the dots on the dice or finding the number, it was having the patience to color in the whole space.

 We read The Gingerbread Boy and The Gingerbread Baby 

and she made her own gingerbread man out of play dough.

I have this set of 12 gingerbread people and we spent time sorting them.  

By boy and girl.  Shoes, no shoes.  Hat, no hat.  Etc. 

She really liked drawing on my big white board (thanks Ali!)  

I even convinced her to write her name which she normally refuses to do for some reason.
