We read Commotion in the Ocean 

By: Giles Andreae & David Wojtowycz

The kids LOVED this fun ocean story! It's always such fun when they really understand  what's going on. :) This story is especially great because the kids love to join along for the sound words..."SNAP SNAP" goes the CraB!! 

No matter how many toys I will have...they will always create!!!  DVD City & Bridge!! :)

Art Project: Fish Baggies

This is a SUPER easy and pretty much free craft, depending on what you already have! I saw something similar online and with a little CoCo tweak these "Fish Baggies" really came out CUUUUTE! We used sandwich sized ziplock bags, tissue paper, & lil glue -n- google eyes! That's it. LOL Not that they look so complex! I just love free stuff and considering I keep a bag and I mean a BAG 

of left over used tissue paper I almost had everything. One should ALWAYS have google eyes, and as most homes in america do I had  ziplock baggies (mine of course were great value brand ;)! 

The kids crumbled, balled, and scrunched the tissue paper (fine motor)

They added the tissue to their baggies

I pinched the end with scotch tape then they added the google eyes!

Ethan: "My Mommy Will LOVE this!" He is SO PROUD!!! :)

Special Activity: On Land or In the Ocean?

(Gross Motor/Group Movement) 

We played the game on land or in the Ocean. The kids absolutely had a BLAST! haha. And it is sooo easy! First I had to explain the rules, then I had to explain them AGAIN!..lol  

It's simple, I call out a name of a animal; if it "walks" on land then they walked in place, if it "swims" in the Ocean they move their arms in a swimming motion. I wish I had caught this on video. They were cracking me up!! Even helping me come up with different animals to call out!
