Space-Week 8

This free scrapbook design customized with Smilebox

I apologize for being a bit behind. We've had some computer issues, but now that Daddy has fixed those we are back in business! Two weeks ago, we studied science and space. The kids had a great time at home this week (it's getting really unbearable outside) so we are trying to come up with more inside crafts and creative play. Monday we played with our friends Kaylee and Megs and mom had four moon doughs to make space shapes with and the kids had a ball with this! They also took turns being captain of the "space ship" (aka our old car out back) and finished up with a space puzzle inside. Mid-week, we brought out our tent and let them build spacecrafts in there with old recycle materials. Then I moved the tent to each room a different night so the kids could sleep under the stars. We also created some of our own space crafts with tin foil wrapped paper plates and fun fuzzy balls, eyes, and pipe cleaners. The kids loved this! Thursday we went to a dance party with our friends Ellen and Aaron. It was a bit of a truck out there but totally worth it as their library really did it big! We also enjoyed our time with these friends before the summer is almost over! I also found on clearance earlier this year some glow in the dark crafts that punched out in different shapes. We had a ball making a rainbow, pumpkin, cupcake, planets, and stars (we even repeated this with our cousin!). We read many space books and watched a new favorite "Megamind" just about every day. On Friday we ventured to our space museum and saw a laser show for the bargain price of $2 each! It was really fun! Enjoy the slideshow.
