What a great day of Back Yard Club!
We did a good job passing around the camera today. Enjoy the pictures of our activities!
Of course we began with stories and songs--
Abby reads Have You Seen My Duckling and Press Here.
We are singing a Back Yard Favorite, "Little Red Wagon."
Say Hi everyone! :)
Abby spots a bug in the bird house (which is currently home to some baby birds)!
Today our projects were...
Mono prints (a personal favorite)
Beaded bracelets
Paper plate masks
Wikki Stix sculptures
But first! A tiny toad is spotted near the bushes!
That little critter was exactly the color of the soil, I'm amazed Jordyn could see it at all!
Next we got out the much-loved parachute!
I love telling a story about a fisherman (a ball) who was out at sea on a calm day...
until the storms rolled in!
He's bounced around in the storm to be sure! But when the weather calms down, he calls his friends to bring out their boats and join him! Of course there are more storms and more bouncing and tossing! (And a lot of preschooler squeals!)
Then our balls turn into flying fish and we work together to send them sailing through the air!
We also played a color game,
Made bubbles to sit inside...
And "tickled" the kids!
After parachute play we practiced acting out our story, Caps for Sale with our newly completed scenery!
Next...Moms and Dads and Grandpas and Grandmas came for the show!
Those are just the trickiest (and thirstiest) monkeys and most talented peddlers I know!
After my helpers and I cleaned up camp we took our traditional trip out for some icees!
These great kids do a fantastic job of teaching, guiding, and helping your kiddos!
Matthew (meditating, of course!?) myself, Jordan, Eliza, Jordan, and Abby are pictured here.
Kristan and Amara are not pictured.
Have a wonderful summer everyone and thank you for joining us for Back Yard Club!
