What to do? Wednesday
Posted By Melissa on July 22, 2009
This week we’ve been reading books by Lois Ehlert such as Color Zoo and talking about shapes. For our project, I cut out lots of shapes out of colored paper and asked my kids to create animals (or creatures) from the cut shapes just like the author did.
I traced circular items out of my junk drawer like thread spools to get various sized circles. I used an old gift card to get a rectangle and the triangle-folding-method to get squares.
For the older kids, try a game of Tangoes.
I’d love to know what you’re up to on this wonderful Wednesday. You can leave a link below or comment. You can also link to pictures of your child’s shape creation if you wish.
