H and Y

Our summer fun letters for the week were H and Y.  D chose H so she could make a house for a fairy, one of the ideas she helped come up with.  S chose Y because it was a letter he could reach!  Through out the week we worked on reading and writing some words - he, has, had, you, yes.  We also had a ton of fun doing the activities on the cards.

Hike - We went on a "hike" Monday at a new park close by our house.  D used this time to find materials for our other H activity.  S loved picking up rocks, leaves, and flowers as we walked along. Both kids LOVED throwing rocks into the small stream that goes through the park.  I didn't get any pictures of this because the camera battery was dead.

House for a fairy - This was the first thing D said she wanted to do when we were working on our list.     We bought a wooden birdhouse and glued on the various items from our hike.  She checks at least twice a day to see if a fairy has arrived.  So far we haven't had any takers!

Y - On Wednesday we yarn painted, an idea I found on Pinterest.  I taped yarn to cheap cookie sheets.  The kids then painted the yarn with various colors and pressed white paper on top to make designs.  They both enjoyed the activity.  D even asked when we could do it again.

Yes Day - Today was our "yes" day where we said yes to as many things as possible.  Here are a few things we did.
