I am just loving the book selections from Itty Bitty Bookworm. This week we read The Doorbell Rang and talked about sharing cookies and did lots of fun math.
This activity didn't relate to our story, but here Hannah is sorting Christmas erasers.
We acted out the story during snack time. We started out with two kids and 12 cookies.
We eventually had 12 kids (okay 10 of them were imaginary). Caleb and Hannah each started with 6 of the twelve cookies, but each time the doorbell rang they had a new friend to share their cookies with.
They each got to cover a golf ball in paint, Hannah chose purple, Caleb used pink. I put a piece of paper inside an empty large metal can. They added their painted balls to the can. We secured the lid and rolled the can back and forth. When they opened the can they found their finished painting. See video at the bottom of this post.
They cut out circles for cookies then decorated them with glitter paint. The next day we used these to shop at the pretend bakery.
I love Hannah's intensity here!
They painted stars white then added glitter (we still have gold glitter all over the tables).
This is Caleb's usual attempt at blocking me from taking his picture.
Videos of the week... Hannah singing our Old St. Nicholas song, the tin can paint project, a raking leaves with Daddy.
