Stone soup

This week we read the story Stone Soup and each of the girls made their own pot of soup by cutting vegetables out and gluing them in the pot.

 

We sorted fruits and vegetable cards and made a salad with play dough. The girls used plastic knives and plates to create their salads, however, when I asked them what they were making they all responded with cake or cupcakes. 

They also did a picture search where they each had their own cards and used whiteboard crayons to mark the pictures they found. They spent 20 minutes doing this activity and probably would have gone longer but it was time for playtime. 

Apples

Addie's apple prints; she used an apple to make these, but the star in the middle of the apple didn't show up. Still she had fun. 

Addie also put the apple stickers on the apple tree. 

It was a great fine motor activity and kept her busy. 

We read The Riddle of the Star and for a snack made apple muffins, which dissapeared as quickly as they were made.
