O is for Onion Rings!

"O" Week- Octopus Windchime

"O" Week- Onion Painting

I was going to use an Orange but we didnt have any so we went with an Onion..
Cut an onion in half, use red and yellow paint. Let the kids dip the Onion in the paint and place it on the construction paper.


"O" Week- Octopus Hotdog

Today I cut a hot dog into an Octopus.. Not too much work but the kids loved it!!!
I put it with some Macaroni and cheese (Orange) and some Peaches (Orange)

"O" Week- Oreo Penguin

This was a way fun activity! Mainly because it is fast and you get to eat it!
Split an Oreo in half.
Give it 2 m&m eyes and a candy corn nose, and two feet.






"O" Week- Octopus in the Ocean

We used a blue background for the ocean. I traced both hands of each child onto Orange construction paper. While you are cutting out hands let the kids color their Oceans, apparently my kids made fish and sharks, hmmm... Overlap the hands so that there are 8 legs for the Octopus, then glue it onto your ocean scene. I also cut out some seaweed to give it a more Ocean type feel.

Valentines Day

Valentine's Day we had tons of fun we made teddy bear picture frames.
I used foam for all the pieces except his its eyes. Then I drew on the features for the kids.

Super easy 2 pieces of construction paper, 2 pipe cleaners, and I cut out some hearts for the top!

Today we learned about Melting crayons (idea courtesy of Tonya http://ryversmommy.blogspot.com/2010/01/more-ways-to-have-fun-with-melted.html ). We sorted the crayons by color and even made some variegated colored ones! N and C  thought this was tons of fun! We put the crayons in the oven at 250 degrees and watched while the melted.. We then poured the wax into cookie cutter molds.. After the molds hardened the kids got excited to use their newly made crayons!!
