Camping Week!

We got off to a late start since we missed Monday. The kids were really excited about Camping Week, any excuse to make a tent!! I was excited about the s'mores we are going to make tmrw! I swapped days with some of the kids Monday so they are all here Thursday :)

Going on a Bear Hunt
We do this one often so of course since it fit theme we had to go on a bear hunt! The kids really love this! I have used a version of it in my preschool classrooms for sometime now. Its super cute. I will try to find a way to link it up on here!!


Time to go Fishing!! It was really buggy outside this morning so we couldn't set up outside like I had wanted. But luckily due to our 2-3 year old imaginations. The lake can be inside too!
Catching Fish

We caught a red one & a blue one!
I suggested we pretend and cook the fish we caught and make dinner! But Jax says "you can't eat fish, it's yucky and it will make your belly ache." I am not sure if he just can't fathom the idea of eating Nemo, or he just not that into fish.

Proud Fisherman!!
Ethan says "yes we can eat fish!" And was very happy to run off to the kitchen to prepare it. I couldn't help but laugh when he came back with a plate with grapes on it, he says"here CoCo, here's your hot-dog!" LOL! It all makes sense now! Now I know what's in a hot-dog, red and blue FISH! haha. It's a new Dr. Suess in the making Red Fish . Blue Fish.  Hot-dog. (oh jeez Im lame.)

Jax: "it wont bite you, its FAKE!"

Our lake was super shallow! We could stand to fish, and we found a black snake! "Oh my!" I shouted. Jax assured me not to be afraid. Then says "I can jump over it, it wont bite you, its fake!" 


Art Project: Binoculars

They were super siked when the paint came out. Even if they had no idea what we were doing yet. We had already discussed what things you need when you go camping so they were familiar with the word binoculars. I started to cut the paper towel rolls in half, handing each child 2 pieces. Naturally they just put them to their eyes to look through. We painted them.

When I got this idea from a website, it says to use green paint. But there is no reason why they can't choose whichever color they wanted so that's what they did!
This took forever to get!!! They can NOT stand still!! LOL!
