Find The Jaguar

Look at the sunrise this morning!  Brrr, it is very cold and everything is frosted over.  That usually means we have a clear sky and the sun will come out.  YES.  I will be standing in it soon.

 We have been learning the letter Jj and the color purple.  We decided to create a Find The Jaguar game.  We used paper towel tubes.  One tube per child, cut the tube in half and staple the halves together to make a set of binoculars.

 The girls used purple tissue paper squares and purple glue from the gluesticks to cover the binoculars.  They fished out a purple marker to write their names on the binoculars upon completion.

 The gluing of squares took a while.  It was nice.  They paid attention to detail.

 I went online and printed out a couple of copies of a jaguar photo.  Jaguar starts with Jj.

I wrote out the game instructions on the back of the photo so the kids could take their games home and play with siblings or parents.  Then I covered the photos front and back with packing tape to protect them from damage.  Contact paper works well to laminate papers, too.

 I hid the jaguar, and she went off in search of it.  It is a little more difficult to find something when you are only looking through the binoculars, so it was fun!

Meanwhile, Aiden has been stuffing his feet jammies with stuffed animals and blankets so he can throw himself onto the floor and slide.  Inventive!

The song of the day is Barton Hollow, by The Civil Wars.  Happy Wednesday!! Tonight is Fashion Disaster Night at AWANA. ♥♥♥
