We had a lovely, cool day today!
Our project choices were
Butterfly painting
God's eyes
Mosaics
Clay--coil pots
After snack we painted the scenery for our play! We worked on a rocky mountain, a grassy hillside, and some lovely flowers for the billy goats.
We decided to slow it down for a leisurely nature walk using our "telescopes" we made yesterday. But first we looked at some caterpillars found in the yard. We then made our way to the milkweed to see if we could spot a few more.
On our walk we also found 2 toads, some cool beetles, frogs, vole tunnels, frog holes, 2 dragonflies, a moth, and loads of crickets!
Elise is looking closely at a petal from a monkey flower.
OH and what happened across the street?
A whole flock of geese wandered in and got a lot to eat from our neighbor's lawn!
So we sat down and watched.
What a nice walk we had! So much nature to appreciate nearby.
Last, we enjoyed some dancing! Did you know these kids still LOVE Ring Around the Rosie! See if they can sing you the "standing up" verse! It starts, "Cows in the meadow, eating buttercups!"
We also danced to "Floating Down the River" where we have repeated slow quiet sections, and boisterous choruses of jumping and clapping.
For your viewing pleasure...early this morning my daughter (and BYC helper), Eliza, found and photographed this beautiful red-spotted purple butterfly in our painting tent.
Oh, and a few goofy pictures just for fun!
