Image Today happened to be Kings Day, also known as Twelfth Night. We made Kings cupcakes and the little girls decorated paper crowns. I also bought lots and lots of cornstarch to make ooblik (2 parts cornstarch, 1 part water or fiddle with it until its the right consistency) which is always a welcomed activity!

Image For our art project today the kids had two minutes to make anything they wanted out of a sheet of tin foil. When the time was up they passed their creation to the person next to them and they told what the creation was. We played it twice, only the second time they didn't want a time limit.

ImageEarly in the afternoon the kids used sidewalk chalk to draw out a whole city. For our afternoon snack, the girls made smoothies. The two activities blended together quite nicely as the kids went to "Ruby's" and "In n Out"! The kids had a ton of fun doing this all afternoon.
