Watch Them Grow!

We made a trip to the Dollar Tree as a reward and the little ones picked out these toys. They are toys you soak in water for 3 days and they gradually "grow". I've decided to turn it into a lesson on measuring. They were excited to see them grow a little over night! Take a trip to the Dollar Tree! It's my favorite store:)

DIY Angry Birds

If your little ones are anything like mine they would love this angry bird game. My 4 year old loved tumbling down structures with his new homemade toys. 

Materials:

balls

red material

rubber bands or string

sharpie

Wrap the balls in red material and secure with a rubber band or string at the top. Draw an angry bird face on the material. Now you're ready for action!! 

We used our building bricks from a previous post, and they worked perfectly for this angry bird game. The pigs can also be made a similar way.
