Tot School Week 13 &14 (LETTER G)

First some thoughts:  I combined the past two weeks of Preschool activities into one blog... I may start doing this because it makes me less stressed about getting everything posted so quickly and I have been trying to be more mindful of when I am blogging lately ( in case you don't know blogging can take up a LOT of your time if you let it!!)  I feel that I have fallen victim to this for the past few months and I am trying to make sure I am using my time wisely.  It is so much fun to read everyone's blogs and see all the great ideas that are out there... however if I am on the computer looking at blogs how often do I get to put those great ideas into effect?- Lately that answer would be not-so-much.  My Evernote (which I absolutely love by the way... ) is chock FULL of AWESOME ideas.  But I waste too much time looking for ideas and reading all the blogs out there to get to do many of these things- soooo I am reassessing my blog and looking for ways to STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER!- more often.  LOL!
The past 2 weeks were dedicated to the Letter G! We were so excited because it just so happened that my girl's grandma- G.G. came to visit- what a perfect week for that, huh? Do you know what G.G. stands for? Take a guess- and let me know what you think! :)


Here are some of the fun things we did!

G is for  Green Grass (using easter grass)

 

Mixing Blue Marker and Yellow Marker on a coffee filter...

found this at Under the Table and Dreaming- so cute!

 

Add a spray bottle and soak the coffee filter... so the blue and yellow make- GREEN!

 

Rainbows from pipe cleaners (or the fancy name- chenille sticks- LOL!) 

(I have seen this on quite a few blogs but here is one...The Schafer Family)

 

Pipe Cleaner Rainbows and Rainbow Pom-pom art celebrating St. Patrick's day coming up!

 

This one I made up myself... because I had the tools already!  Match the colored pom-pom to the correct color in the rainbow!  The girls seemed to like this- and they turned out pretty cute!
