kansas week would not be complete without a wagon ride. much softer and smoother than way back when, but fun. we were taking out show and tell basket on a visit the grandma and grandpa friends.

t is for tornado

nothing like a tornado strike to honor kansas day.

y is for yarn

the preschoolers having been showing consistent interest in cutting. more specifically, cutting yarn. more specifically yet, cutting the yarn from our weaving project.

so since it was winter white week, we had white yarn in the tub table and tied some of it to an embrodiery hoop hanging from the ceiling (where the magnet used to be).

we decided it looked like we were cutting a beard, so we added a face.

y is for yarn sandwich

i found this yarn between two block platforms and thought, “ha! that looks like a yarn sandwich.”

when i found the person who made it and asked what he was thinking, he said, “oh, it’s just a yarn sandwich.”

of course it is.

r is for recycled snowman

this was a group project based on opening the craft cupboards to find any white things. again, thank you thrift shop! i painted a white snowman outline , then set out the white things and glue.
