4H Projects are done :)

We finished up the last of the 4H projects Saturday night (granola bars...yum!) and we are headed off today to put them into the fair. Yip and Yap graciously (yeah right) agreed to let me take photos of them with their projects. 


Without further ado.....

Dang, they did so well in the kitchen that I'll have to put them to work cooking more often! Granola bars...mmmm, chocolate and s'more! 

We have two art projects to put in this year. The boys made paper mache masks. Yap's is a knight's helmet and Yip's is Batman which is just the beginning of Halloween costumes. 

Clay piranhas they made at school. 

I was sooo proud of their sewing projects! First they painted some fabric and then sewed it up. Yap's is a simple pillow and he's holding a knitted belt over it that he also made. While Yip, well, he went all out and made a Captain America stuffed doll! He was super patient with sewing around every little corner and curve! 

Finally their circuit boards, thanks Grandma for sending the kits. 

4H Fair here we come! 

Marker Monday - Bubble Wrap Painting

Every couple weeks Yahoo and I go to a playtime group hosted by Miss Melissa. This playgroup is funded with federal grants. I don't know all the details but I know Melissa always has a great theme and lots of great activity centers for the toddlers to work at.

Last week we celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday and we talked about all his books including One Fish, Two Fish. For a painting project Melissa taped down a rectangle of bubble wrap and had a paint and roller to spread on the bubbles. Then an fish outline was placed on the bubbles, rubbed the back well and then pulled off.

Voila!

A bubble fish!

So easy for toddlers. All the kids really got into this project because it was easy and quick and they could see the results immediately. I liked it because it didn't create a huge mess. Definitely a fun project to do at home...once I find some bubble wrap!
