Our Week Long Activities

Park Play

Luckie Park. This is the only park here (that I know of currently) that has grass. They also have a pool.


 He never tires of the park.


Car Garage


Finally bought D some matchbox cars! Going to get him a little track soon!
Since he had some pretty awesome cars, I figured he needed a pretty awesome garage to put them in. We made one out of a shoe box. He even pretends to push the button to open and close the garage door. Sound effects included. :]

Ice Cube Bags
Items Needed:
Ice cube tray
Water
Red, Yellow, and Blue food coloring
3 Ziploc bags 

Mix water and food coloring and pour into ice cube tray. Once frozen, place red and yellow together in a bag, red and blue into another, and yellow and blue in the last bag.
  

 We made these the evening before...


 BEFORE



 Playing with them and showing him the different colors...

 Showing him the new colors...


AFTER

He had some fun with this one. Pretty cool science activity.


Craft Box


This is the boys' craft box. It contains a number of things. Pom Poms, styrofoam cups, toilet paper/paper towel tubes, stickers, markers, tape, aluminum pie plates, construction paper, sponges, paint brushes, etc. D loves that we have a craft box now. Everything is in one spot!

Pom Pom Fun!


Here we just pass the pom poms from one cup to the other. (Thanks Shelley, Curtis, And Hunter for the idea!) 
P.S. My son has graduated in the art program of self expression. Literally.

Bubble Blowing
Wish I could of taken of pic of the bubble blowing however, I was the one blowing the bubbles! D was cracking up SO hard when they'd blow onto him. I LOVE when he laughs like that. He's so happy.


Package from Grandma Sharon


It contained a photo album from D's visit to MN. I absolutely LOVE when I can see him in her photos. 2 Sesame Street movies, a hat and some pj's. Thanks Grandma Sharon! D LOVES everything!
