Old McDonald had a farm…..eieio!!

A farm theme is so fun!!! Furthermore, there’re plenty of activities to do, but, sadly, we don’t have enough time for them.

We are getting ready for VACATIONS!!! Almost a month at our lovely island: Puerto Rico!!! I am so excited about it because Pinky will have lots of new experiences with nature: beach, lakes, river, mountains, farms, gardens, insects and if we are lucky enough, a RAINBOW!!!

So, here’s what we got to do so far:

Lacing:

This is the second time she’s exposed to a lacing activity and she did the 8 animals at one! As you can see the rabbit was the last one (oh, my little baby!). Also, the small lacing animals were suppose to being use as a matching activity or memory game but she decided to match to the big ones. Great imagination!.

For this unit we are doing lots of hands on activities (literally). Here are our 5 little sheep puppets. Using these for a line time circle time song (5 little sheep)

Homemade poppets!: We looked for our small farm stuff animals (plus an octopus and Elmo that got on the way), attached them to popsicle stick with pine cleaners and the puppet show can start! She loved it!
