c is for cleaning

i am a firm believer in having purposeful work available to children.  if i pull out the spatula-turned-dried-glue-cleaner-upper and water, at least one child comes over.  then two.

then a table full.  then they decide they need aprons and paper towels.

then it is discovered that the spatula actually works as a flipper.

then the table is clean.

thank you, friends.

willaby wollaby elephants by you.

we love this silly, silly song.

we love reusing items.  here we used paper plates, gray fabric and the one gray plastic bag i could find!  since it was a short week and we wanted to use these at circle time, i made their pieces stick with hot glue.

and how silly that the elephants we made all had everyone’s names with a W at the front (except for one friend who was in tears because he KNEW his name started with K and not W…we covered the silly name with fabric).

and how silly that the elephants talked (but only ms. kristin could hear them).

and how silly that they played hide and seek from the grandma and grandpa friends.
