Ahoy Mates!

Posted by

Pirates are storming the seas! Are you ready for them?

We are! Pirates make a great theme for a birthday party or a unit on explorers. So why not slip something educational in there as well. When you make these pirate math mats and dominoes you are reinforcing learning skills in your children. All while they are having fun.

Here is what we are doing for our pirate theme. We have our Pirate Math Mats ready and we are playing pirate dominoes today.

Then we are going to color a pirate. We are going to add foil to his buckle, feathers to the bird and fabric on his clothes. How will yours look?

Today's theme is ROBOTS

Posted by

Lots of robotic fun today. Check out all the robotic fun for this week.

Hi all,

Robots are a big favorite especially with boys. Today's fun crafts include things such as a Robot Rummy game, coloring sheets, dominoes and more.

To make your own robot gather up boxes and carboard tubes of all sizes. Cover them with aluminum foil and duct them together. Pipe cleaners are great for attaching arms and legs. Use bottle caps, old nuts and bolts and any other bits and pieces you can find to decorate your robot.

Here are the robot projects:
