The City at Night

This idea was from Deep Sparkle.  This is a great activity and a perfect way to practice cutting and pasting skills.

First we made our background by creating swirls and spots.

         

Mine is on the left side and my son selected blue and purple for his background.

While we wait for our paints to dry, Mavi cut some small pieces of squares/rectangles for our windows. 

 

An hour later, we added skyscrapers to our background using black art paper (sorry no picture as my hands were busy).

Then I let my son paste the small squares  on our skyscrapers.  I explained that at night you cannot usually see the exterior of the buildings, what you see are just shadows (thus it’s black). So what you can see are the windows that are lit from inside.

Here’s Mavi’s work.  He’s still adding some details :)

 

And here’s mine.  I didn’t get to design my own skyscrapers as he did mine too LOL.

Math and March

For this month, we will be doing more Math activities.  I admit that I’ve been neglecting it for awhile but I realize how much I miss doing it with my son while I looking at some of our previous activities.  We do Math using Singapore Math workbooks which a friend has sent me, but working with worksheets aren’t my son’s favorite thing to do.  So for March, we’ll slow down with Geography and other themed activities… instead we’ll revisit our bead works, skip counting, measuring activities, practice writing numbers, practice counting and more :)

I may pop a few artist study along the way and some painting activities.

We’ll also be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day… we might go down to the city to watch the parade :)  And we’ll be observing Lent as well, learning more about the love of Christ and how He dedicated His life teaching the word of His Father.

Have a blessed Sunday everyone!

More Dino Activities (Free Activity Sheets)

Aside from this, we also explored the world of dinosaurs through the books we borrowed from the library. 

Play the pattern game and graphing game from the dinosaur pack I downloaded from 2 Teaching Mommies.

    

Oh he loved the graphing game!  We used his Legos this time. Last year, we used easter eggs (pretend that it was dinosaur eggs!).

And there’s the playdough of course :)

Last year we also had an exciting activity, we pretended to be scientists and excavate dinosaurs using my dino sensory tub. 

Because my son loves his dino toobs so much, I made him a few more activity sheets and since I love my readers, I’m sharing it well.  It includes graphic game using some dinosaurs as seen here, and grid game sheet which my son and I enjoyed playing as well. 

                      

Enjoy!!

Dinosaur Cards and Worksheets (Free Printable)

Hello everyone!  My son asked me to create cards for his Safari Ltd. Dino TOOB figures, and this is what I came up with.  He was ecstatic when he saw the cards!  They’re actually fact cards for his dino figures for us to study.
