Doctor, doctor give me the news . . .

Okay, so many of you know that I'm a little Type A, but I love school.  I have recently found this adorable home preschool curriculum for 2 year olds.  Lest you think I'm pushing Grae, it's a program with lots of art projects, a focus on a theme, and some Scripture memory.  For the next two weeks, our theme is doctor/body.  Some of the ideas include teaching the parts of the body, setting up a doctors office and playing with a medical kit, picking up cottonballs and Qtips with tweezers (fine motor), writing a thank you to our doctor/nurses.  We are having a blast.  We traced Grae's body and labeled all of his parts.  Super cute ideas!    A special thanks to Uncle Gish for the great hospital supplies and to Michelle Hubbard for her great curriculum.  You can find it here http://hubbardscupboard.org/christian_resources.html

Valentine's Boredom Buster

Heres a cute project that you can make out of 2 hearts:

1.  Cut out a small heart from 4x4 piece of cardstock or construction paper.  I used precut foam hearts.

2.  Cut a smaller heart from a contrasting piece of cardstock 1x1.  Cut down the middle.

3.  Glue the heart halves onto the larger heart as shown.

4.  Connect the sides by gluing the heart ears together. 

5.  Make a tail by inserting a lollipop or use string and fill the mouse's body with small candies.

6.  Add google eyes or draw some on.  Voila! 

You can make the mouse a guinea pig by putting the ears on the other end of the heart.  Grae called his a "bunny pig" .  We did this craft at a little lunch we had for a few friends.
