No paintbrushes, a treehouse with no tree, playing a game made from a tree and eating twisted fruit: MONDAY T WEEK

Once upon a time there was a big piece of paper with green paint blobs on it. The teacher said that she wanted the paper to get all the way painted green. Children came by and noticed there were no paintbrushes. Oh no! What would they do?

Read on to find out about the paper paint problem, our treehouse with no tree, playing a game made from a tree and eating twisted fruit.

How did we get the paint on the paper?

With our hands!

What big thing did Ms Kristin bring out for the treehouse?

A huge piece of cardboard from a huge box. We started adding ideas of what we’d like to have in a real treehouse.

How do you play the new game made from a tree?

You flick the pieces of wood across the board to try and get them in the middle.

It is called Crokinole and it’s a game Ms Kristin grew up playing. Grandpa Chuck made it for us right before the pandemic started but this is the first time we’ve had it out this year.

What twisty things did Axel bring for snack today?

Fruit twists and pretzel twists! They were very tasty! Thank you, Axel!

T is for tasty twists!

Where did we do Show and Tell today?

At the sunshine rug. This is where the swing is usually hanging.

We made a pile of our things but called it a Tower so it was a T word.

Then we took our Show and Tell things outside to the real sunshine!

I brought the shopping cart out which seemed to prompt a new level of “store” play. Look at this carefully stocked shelf!
