Transporation Week

 I knew before we were off for the summer I wanted to do weekly themes,  to keep things fun! We haven't done one every week, we have done three so far. We started with transportation! Adalyn loves cars, trucks and tractors at the moment! She enjoyed this week! Here are a few things we did:

I used the beans from our flower garden sensory bin and made a "digger" bin. Addy calls them tractors! hahaha She enjoyed this bin and so did her friend Ben when he came over as well!!

Then we went next door to see Daddy and all of his REAL machines and diggers!

We used cars and trucks and painted with them! Addy thought I was crazy at first but as soon as I showed her what to do she loved it. The cars and trucks left some cool tracks on the paper! Her finished art is on the pin board!

 After that we had a car wash! I think she liked this activity more than the painting!

She drove her cars through the play-doh one night while I was making dinner. She was entertained for a while with this activity!!

We also played with some vehicles on a ramp. She liked this!

I also made some boats out of pool noodles. She liked taking them apart and putting them back together.

and I made her a little car out of a box from the mail! She loved it! She ripped the steering wheel off right away though! hahah

I'm glad I finally got around to blogging about this! Adalyn really liked this week, probably the most. I will post about the ZOO week we also had by the end of the week!

A couple Halloween activities....

This week I set up a little bit of water play for Adalyn. I filled the box we used for corn meal play with water, added a little food colouring and some scary Halloween creatures. Here is what we had in it:

 And here is the little miss exploring:

She only kept the flower in her hair for one picture!!

The eyeballs were her favourite!

This one just creeps me out!

Overall it was a fun activity..and kept her entertained for a little! Any chance to talk about Halloween with her is good with me!!

We also made another contact paper craft! This one ended up being super cute!!!

I stuck the contact paper down and gave her orange paper squares. She stuck them down, then started trying to get them all off again!

 (My poor baby is sick.)

I then added a little face out of black cardstock, stuck the other piece of contact paper on top and cut out the shape of a pumpkin.

 I forgot to add the stem in between the two pieces of contact paper so I stuck it on the back.

Here is her finished product. What do you think?!

I added it to our gallery wall, of course!

I love how the pumpkin turned out! Addy does too...she says pumpkin constantly when she is in the playroom! :)
