It looks like I picked a great week to do some Farm related crafts & activities! First we went to story time this morning and all of the books & songs were about the farm and farm animals. Also, Smiling Hills Farm opened up this weekend, so we can go visit!
We had a very busy morning - as I mentioned before we went to the Kennebunk story time. Then we had lunch on the beach with friends (and it was cold/windy). By the time we arrived home it was time for nap. All of the fresh air made Braden tired, because I actually had to wake him up at 5:30.
After dinner we finally had some time to work on a few little projects. First, I tried a bubble sensory/art project. It involved mixing dish soap & paint to create a bubble mixture. After blowing some bubbles you press the paper onto them to make a colored imprint.

First I decided to have Braden practice with a little bowl full of water. I was really worried that he would just end up drinking up the soapy, paint mixture. Which he just ended up drinking up the water. So, I made the bubbles for the craft project and Braden helped press the paper onto the mixture.

Afterwards we created a little handprint farm. Braden loved telling me which colors to use next (thankfully I had only taken out the colors we would be using).
