We have had a lot of fun with our fall farms theme!
 |
| Picking the apples with an A off the apple tree |
 |
| Library time in the fort |
 |
| Apple tree art |
 |
| Cutting apples for our mini apple pies (I tried to resist the need to make an apple pie, but we were reading the book "The Apple Pie Tree" so I felt some sort of literature extension was necessary :). We settled with these crescent roll mini apple pies. |
 |
| Adding butter, cinnamon sugar and the apples then rolling them up |
 |
| They loved making the whole thing themselves |
 |
| They were delicious! |
 |
| The next day we made applesauce |
 |
| My grandma gave me this cool gadget and I love it |
 |
| You just put cooked apples in and mash it |
 |
| Play time with the trains |
 |
| Apple relay races |
 |
| Fishing for the letter H |
 |
| Fun on the farm |
 |
| This may look like a boy under a chair but it is actually little boy blue asleep under his haystack :) |
 |
| Now he's blowing his horn to get those sheep out of the meadow and the cows out of the corn |
 |
| Snack time |
 |
| Painting sunsets to put their barns on |
 |
| Balancing (with a little help from the fence) on the log walk |
 |
| They love the bunny |
 |
| I tried to get more circle time pictures...Here is a "The Little Red Hen" story with the flannel board and props |
 |
| Exploring the "Little Red Hen" sensory materials...wheat kernels, the flour we ground from the wheat kernels, plastic wheat stalks growing that they could pick from a playdough garden, and playdough bread dough to practice kneading |
 |
| These two spent a lot of time here |
 |
| Using wheat flour to make pumpkin pancakes |
 |
| Unlike in the "Little Red Hen" they were all very helpful :) |
 |
| Yum! |
 |
| Watering the W's |
 |
| Baskets of vegetables art |
 |
| Farmers Market fun |
 |
| Cutting vegetables |
 |
| Throwing sock balls at the letter S |
 |
| Working on the scarecrow for their journal page |
 |
| So cute |
 |
| More Farmers Market fun |
 |
| Hey diddle diddle- The big round wood piece is supposed to be a moon |
 |
| Exploring instruments |
 |
| Planting a garden/ patterns with seeds art |
 |
| I love how they are smiling at each other as they swing |
 |
| He was showing me his collection of leaves he'd found- I love it! |
