A Colour Day

Oct-23-2008 By Melissa

Designate a particular colour for your colour day.

For example if you (or your child) choose yellow then wear something yellow, eat banana’s and eggs. Go outside to look at the yellow flowers, paint a yellow picture and point out all the yellow things you see that day.

This is a fun way for little ones to learn their colours and all the different shades that colour has.

Make An Origami Bat

Oct-21-2008 By Melissa

Gretchen Siegchrist posts a video and instructions on how to construct an Origami Bat. This would be a wonderful way to involve your kids in decorating the home or classroom with halloween decorations. Along with some ghosts and pumpkins you will have a festive looking room!

Your children will love learning this song during Halloween season. Sing it to the tune of “Wheels On The Bus”.

The Haunted House
 
The ghost in the house goes “Boo! Boo! Boo!”
“Boo! Boo! Boo!, Boo! Boo! Boo!”
The ghost in the house goes “Boo! Boo! Boo!”
On Halloween.

The steps in the house goes “Creek, creek, creek…”
The cats in the house go “Meow, meow, meow…”
The mice in the house go “Squeak, squeak, squeak..”
The people in the house go “Eek, eek, eek…”

Have fun making up new characters and sounds with your children!
