W Stuff

Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak is, perhaps, the ultimate W book. When the Elephant Walks by Keido Kasza was a new find that worked well, too.

Activities

Water Print



This was fun. We had some styrofoam packing leftover from unpacking Talmage's bunkbed. We carved waves in the styrofoam with a knife, then inked the styrofoam using blue paint that we blotted on with a paper towel. We then made prints by placing a piece of paper on the inked carved styrofoam and pulled them off. It was a good introduction to printmaking.

Water Music

We took five tall glasses, filled them with varying levels of water and hit them with spoons. We could almost play Mary Had a Little Lamb.



I totally stole this picture off the internet. But until Tyler takes pictures for me again, this will have to do.

White Whale

We printed off this coloring page on blue paper and then used white chalk to color the picture. We set the chalk with hairspray.



A white crayon would have worked well, too.

Window Painting



I bought these window painters from the grocery store.

Treasure hunt. wall, wallet, watch, water bottle, window. The treasure was Whoppers.
