I know I promised some Hands-On Science, but we are being blessed this week with an unexpected field trip and I just had to share how we’re making it even more FUN!!!! As a homeschooling
Happy Friday everyone!! Here's a wrap-up of our crafts from this week. We weren't as crafty as normal since the weather was nicer and we were able to play outdoors more!! Shapes Castle We had a lot of fun making this little castle! And of course, it just had to pink!! This is from No Time For Flashcards. I cut out the pieces from sticky-back foam and Sweet Girl "assembled" her castle. Princess wand This was a craft we did several months ago, but it got pulled back out for this week's princess fun! Click here to see the original post and how we made our wand. Spotty spider Sweet Girl requested to make a spider so that's just what we did!! I didn't have any paper plates handy so I just cut out my spider body from a piece of paper. The legs are taped on the back side so it actually gives it a little "lift". This is ALSO from No Time For Flashcards...can you tell I LOVE that site!! J is for.....jellyfish We are doing a beach/ocean theme next week, so these were perfect for our alphabet craft this week!!

Brennan turns 4 in a week and we had his birthday party this weekend. He really wanted a shark birthday party. I had a lot of fun planning this party and thought it turned out pretty cute. Brennan saw this cake online and really had his heart set on it. My sweet friend, Nicole, did a fabulous job and Brennan squealed when he saw it. Shark fin and life preserver cupcakes I made some signs for the party since the park we had it at is a little hard to see from the road. My 1st attempt at doing water bottle labels, and I think they turned out pretty cute. Shark tooth candy necklaces Shark gummies Swedish Fish I'm not sure if you can see, but Dustin cut shark bites out of the sandwiches I made some shark infested jello...these were a big hit!
