Even though it was Jonah’s birthday on Wednesday, we still had school. But instead of all of our normal things, we did some extra fun activities.
We did a Dinosaur Dig! We’ve been learning a bit about archaeology in history, and this week was Letter D for letter of the week. So I printed off and laminated the dinosaur silhouettes in this post, and made the clay recipe linked there as well. I should have made my clay dinosaurs thicker, because they kind of broke into more pieces than the three to four I had cut them into. It was still a fun activity for the boys though!
We played Kitchen. I got the idea from this list of A-Z Sensory Play Ideas, and we did this for the first time last year for our Letter K letter of the week. Ever since, Jonah asks to do this all the time. I usually say no, because I don’t want to use up all of my food supplies, but every now and then I let the boys go crazy, and it usually ends up that they “cook” for 40 minutes or so.
These are obviously not everyday activities, because they took extra prep work and made extra messes, but every once in awhile, it’s fun to have a day like that.
