Sun, Moon, Stars Mobile

Lil Bug and I are working on yellow and reading Good Night Moon (when I find the book, it's grown legs and disappeared somewhere in this house).  Today we made a sun, moon, and stars mobile.  It was quite simple and she loves it!

        You will need these two print outs (printed on card stock for best results)

Sun & Moon

Stars

Yellow construction paper or card stock cut into 2-3 inch strips
stapler and staples
glue
foil
string or ribbon


While I was cutting out the moon and sun, Bug colored the stars.

I added foil (bling bling) to the back of the sun, moon and stars after I cut them out.

Bug colored on the foil with yellow markers. 

I had some tiny star stickers that we added to the stars.  This helped incorporate some hand eye coordination skills!  They were so tiny!

Then we stapled the strips of paper together, end to end to form a circle.

We attached all the sun, moon, and stars to the circle with ribbon....added ribbon to hang.....

and we now have a sun, moon, and stars mobile!

Apples, Apples, Apples

Bug and I have started her tot school program...and I am steadily building it as we go. I can work on weeks ahead while she works on the activities for the current week. Its working, but I don't recommend it. However, I just couldnt find an all in one plan that I wanted to do, so me being me, I took on building my own.

This week is RED, "A", and APPLES! 

We read Ten Apples Up On Top!

I made an Apple felt board set with a picture of herself and apples to put "up on top".  She loves it!
Idea adapted from post on Toddler Brain

 

We also made an apple tree!
Original Idea from Happy Home Fairy

We recycled a parmesean cheese container to sort red pom poms into. 

I used the RED color matching cards from Homeschool Creations. I laminated the cards and then put them on a ring for Bug to carry around with her.

I gathered red items from around the house and created an eye-spy board. 
 


We did some painting ....
original idea from No Time for Flashcards

....and threaded Fruit Loops onto a Pipe Cleaner to make a worm for our newly painted Apple. 

Of all days, Lydia chooses this one to be camera shy! 

And made an edible bracelet.
 

Added red Fruit Loops to our Apple covered A printed from Making Learning Fun

We ate some Apple Shake Ups.

1 tsp sugar
1tsp cinnamon
1/2 apple, cubed
1 plastic bag

Add sugar, cinnamon, apple cubes to bag. Seal tight. Shake Shake Shake!
Eat up!

Update: See the Apple Shake Ups in action at Mess for Less!!

And of course we colored using red crayons, markers, colored pencils, and even a red pen!

Foloow the links to some of the great printables we used!
