Here’s the last of our bunny themed materials for preschool last week. Garden themed trays are great to tie in with a bunny theme. I introduced the story of Peter Rabbit during circle time. Peter Rabbit is a curious bunny who doesn’t mind his mother and sneaks into a garden to eat vegetables, only to be chased away by the gardener. I even found this cute Rabbit hand puppet at Dollar Tree to use for the story. The kids especially loved it when the bunny nibbled at their tummies when it was time for him to eat the vegetables.
This is also a great time to ask questions about what bunnies eat, where they live, what sound they make, how they move? Can the kids each try wiggling their nose and hopping like a bunny? The kids loved this material the most out of the 4 trays I made. They even did pretty good at keeping the beans inside the box. I was impressed.
Materials:
- Mixture of Beans (I used pinto, black and split peas)
- Gardening tools (I found mine at Target)
- Toy vegetables to plant
For those of you who follow me on Facebook, here’s the ER adventures (yes, plural) that I promised to share. Everyone is ok which is what counts! Thanks for the well wishes.
This month has been one of the hardest months I’ve had in a long time, which is really weird because March is my birthday month and usually one of my favorite times of the year. We’ve had illness, my sister moving to California, rough days homeschooling, the attempt to be a WAHM again and now…2 trips to the ER in 2 days.
On Monday, Robert accidentally stabbed himself in the hand with a knife while getting the pit out of an Avocado and yesterday Asher had a hair tourniquet that we had to get removed at the ER. If you haven’t heard of this term (I hadn’t until yesterday) it’s when a piece of hair gets wrapped around something (like a finger or toe) so tight it starts to cut off blood circulation. I guess all that after-baby hair loss & Lila pulling it out turned out to be a problem for poor Asher.
Like I said, everyone is well now. Now I can breathe and hope that April is kinder. Anyone else ready for April?
