Kids Crafts, Sensory Play, Science, and More
This year for President’s Day, we talked about the Presidents for which President’s Day was established: Washington and Lincoln. As part of our discussion, we talked about what each of them were known for and what parts of history were important at the time. After some understanding of President’s Day, we then decided to do an activity with coins. We choose a science experiment in learning how best to clean coins. We choose to work with Lincoln on our pennies.
As we talked about in our last post, we love to reuse and recycle things to the best of our ability in our house. So today, on a whim, I noticed we had a couple of paper towel rolls laying around. Instead of throwing them in the recycling bin, I asked my toddler and preschooler if they wanted to do a paper towel roll craft? To start, they were skeptical but quickly it turned into something fun!
This year for Valentine’s Day, my children really wanted to do something different than just a card. We talked about different crafts and thought through some ideas. In the end, my children really needed to have a fresh restock of their craft supplies (especially crayons) so we decided to make use of their old, broken crayons! In the end, we decided on some heart shaped crayons as Valentines this year.
