The weather around here has gotten sooo beautiful! 65-70 degrees and sunny!! Ahh... Dear, Fall... How I have missed you!
This project could have been done inside, but we decided to take advantage of the sunshine. I know I've mentioned Sid the Science kid multiple times, but it really is Lucas' favorite PBS show. Sid's teacher classifies all of their learning (engineering, estimation, measurement, etc.). Lucas seems to like the subject labeling (maybe that's how kids his age learn... I don't know), so I try to do that when I'm teaching him something new. Lucas and I played around with crayon rubbings, while I attempted to explain textures to him.
Seeing the texture of the cement patio... while Jack tries to eat the paper...
Seeing the textures and shapes of different leaves we found in our yard...
Seeing the difference in texture between one type of tree...
...and another.
...How about this water cover thingy?
...and then Jack finally gets to eat the paper :)
And Lucas gets to play in the tree!

Thanks for stopping by, Julie! Have your daughter press the leaves when she's done tracing them. She'll get to enjoy them longer :)
DeleteHaha, my little man would be eating the paper too!
ReplyDeleteIt's the best part! Mmmmm... fiber! :)
DeleteEating paper...I know that all too well. Leaf rubbings are such a fun activity! Thanks so much for sharing this with us this week. Hope to see you next week, Christine.
