So to share the fun from last week!!! I hope you don't mind Kristi but I really liked how you blogged about last week so I'm going to steal your words :)
This week for "toddler time" the theme was "I Can Eat Healthy Fruits."
Book: The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
Songs:
To the tune of The Itsy Bitsy Spider:
The Fuzzy Little Caterpillar lay down on a leaf
Around wrapped the cocoon and he fell asleep
He dreamt he could fly
And when he woke up
the fuzzy little caterpillar was a butterfly
Fruit Salad by the Wiggles
Five Fruits and Vegetable a Day by Geof Johnson
Nursery Lesson: Lehi's dream (1 Nephi 8); tie a bunch of scarfs together and tie one of each end to a different chair, have the toddler pretend he is asleep, then walk them through the dream, as a special extra place a small piece of fruit on the chair at the end of the "rod of iron."
Games: sock basketball (empty laundry basket and a handful of socks, easy), fruit find (print off pictures of fruit and hid them in the living room and have the toddler find them)
Crafts: A Rainbow of Fruits (have the toddler color a piece of white paper with the different colors of the rainbow (ROYGBV) use old magazines or grocery store ads to find fruits of every color, glue them on the paper),
Fruit Faces,
Fruit Pizza
Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Chips, we had the kids "help" cut up the fruit.
For the fruit pizza, we let the toddlers top huge sugar cookies. And then we enjoyed eating them :)
For the fruit salsa the toddlers had fun cutting up (and eating about 40%) the fruit.
The finished product! It was SOOO delicious.
I don't mind at all. Your pictures of the fruit salad make me want to eat it again! Yum! I noticed a great lack of you in all these preschool pictures, I'll remedy that this week! :) Yay for preschool!
