Teeth Lesson
T is for Teeth
First we read Clarabella's Teeth by An Vrombaut. A terrific easy read.
Definitely motivated Henry to brush his teeth more.
This was LOADS of fun! We would roll the dice and whatever number we got he had to add that amount of marshmellow teeth to the mouth. So fun! I just cut out an oval shape from red construction paper and drew little square boxes where the teeth go. Henry had to glue each marshmellow on. So FUN!
can i eat one mom?
this was printed from my favorite preschool site: Kidssoup.
Flossing! Using a lego and playdoh, this was a great way to show the "how and why" to flossing teeth.
very quick try himself. overall, very fun lesson but think he would appreciate it a lot more in a few months.

Robot Fun
Like many boys, Henry digs robots.
shadow matching.
one of Henry's favorites at the moment, Zoe and Robot.
we did a little mt. pillow ourselves.
thanks to Kidssoup, we were able to make a robot using square shapes.

Salad Spinner Art
Salad spinner art was a easy, clean, and fun activity for Henry.
He added a few drops of each color. 
I had him push down the spinner a few times. This was the finished product. He thought it was super neat! It was a cool way of showing him the blend of colors also.
We decided to add a ball to the mix and spin! 
Super cool.
Finished product. Awesome piece of art! After it dried we hung it up on his art wall.

Brooklyn Children's Museum
One of the perks to living in NYC is all the fabulous museums. Although the Brooklyn Children's Museum is a trek to get to we were very impressed! We all enjoyed it very much.
Bark, George!
Henry really enjoys reading Bark, George by Jules Feiffer. Here are a few activities we did after many reads. :)
Lacing a George card that i laminated and whole punched.
While we read the book I had Henry identify the animal and toss him into the clank can.
this was surprisingly VERY fun for him. He continued to repeat this activity a few times.
