Botany Unit: Leaf Shapes

Mavi and I have been collecting leaves to use for our leaf/leaves study.  I purchased this Botany Cabinet Shapes cards from Montessori Print Shop to introduce the different leaf shapes.

Leaves in Watercolor

We made this simple artwork which involves a pastel color, liquid watercolors and watercolor paper.

Lifecycle of a Frog

We revisited the frogs theme before we went on a vacation because we’ve been spending too time looking at ponds and frogs around the park. 

Here, we worked on the lifecycle of frogs using some colored papers.

Ponds

We’re having Ponds Theme this week because we’re spending too much time at the park watching the animals at the park’s pond. 

Mavi was so thrilled to see this mini-waterfall!

Admiring the swans.

 

We also fed the ducks.  Ducks can walk on the ground...

and swim too!

 

More “Ponds” related activities coming soon :)
