A few days ago we did a project involving coffee filters. Instead of coloring them with markers and spraying with water, we used droppers and colored water. To make a sunset sky, we used red and yellow water. The kids picked up some water in the dropper and slowly squirted it onto their coffee filter. It's a good idea to put construction paper under the coffee filter to absorb the water. Otherwise you'd have a huge mess. Once the kids filled up their coffee filter completely, we let them dry. Then I cut off about an inch from the bottom so it would be flat. And I also glued it to white paper. It made the colors brighter than when the coffee filter was by itself. After nap, the kids added cacti and a "ground" that I had cut from black construction paper. They turned out so pretty because in some spots the red and yellow mixed and made orange. And no two sunsets were alike. Last year we did this for our Wild West theme, so I had also cut out cowboys and horses! What a lot of work that was! If you have a Cricut machine, then it would be a breeze. But all I have is my scissors, so I kept it simple this year. Side note: I think I must have put in a lot more food coloring last year and that's why the Wild West one is so bright. So I guess if you want it extra bright, use lots and lots of food coloring!
This is always one of my favorite theme days- partially because I am from Texas, and partially because it is just so fun! Who doesn't love a good cowboy story? I love pretending to be cowboys with the kids and trying to find the varmint who has been poisoning the watering hole, or whatever other plot we think up! Cowboys · Outing- Ride horses · Movie- Toy Story or Jasper’s Cowboy Wish · Stories- Bubba the Cowboy Prince, Cowboy Camp, Saving Sweetness · Songs- I’m a Little Cowboy, One Little Two Little Three Little Cowboys · Letters- Make a large foam cube with cowboy “gear” (hat, spurs, boots, rope, chaps, vest), and roll it. You then have to guess what letter that sound starts with · Numbers- Count spots on your cattle (use plastic animals or pictures) · Gross Motor Game- Use a hula hoop to “rope” a cow or hunt a villainous bandit on a walk around the block · Snack- Cactus blossoms (raspberries), Cowboy trail mix (nuts, raisins, M&M, pretzels) · Science- Pan for gold · Color/ Shape- Name colors for cowboy gear as we dress them up! (or use Barbie cowgirl) · Art- Paint sandpaper cactuses green · Interactive Game- Ride rocking horse, play cowgirl barbies, ride Mommy horse and say Giddyup (also good for balance!) · OT activity- Write our names and trace cowboy words · Vocab/ Phrases words- cowboys, pistol, holster, sheriff, posse, bandit · Receptive Language- Dress the cowboy! Have a paper cowboy (or just a man) printed off, and cutouts of cowboys clothing. Have the kids take turns matching the clothing part to where it goes on the cowboy. Also have the kids say what clothes they have on that part of their body (so cowboy is wearing chaps, I have a skirt. Cowboy has a vest, I have a shirt)
