Oceans of Fun!

We are learning about Oceans this week!
Bryce started by making a lobster.  I think it is the cutest lobster I have ever seen!  We painted her foot for the body and her 2 hands for the pinchers.
We then made some Sand-dough.  Bryce mixed the ingredients for me and then I let put them on the stove.  We haven't got to play with it yet, so those pictures will be coming!


Today, we also made an Octopus and learned the letter O.  She LOVES zeros and has a hard time understanding how a zero can also be an O.  We will work on this! :)  (Bryce also used scissors for the first time and didn't do so bad.  I let her cut the leftover paper and she loved it!)




We made Ocean flashcards to practice our numbers too.  I wrote the numbers on the front and Bryce stuck that many stickers on the back.  Then we turned the flashcard over and Bryce traced the numbers with glue and we worked together to cover the number with sand.  So now Bryce can trace the numbers and count the stickers.


We also made some Ocean Jello to eat tomorrow, so pictures of that and are edible sand later!
