Join me in singing, “There Was a Crocodile.”
This is a fun one where we practice our memory and listening skills. Each time we restart the song, we will drop “singing” the animal but still do the actions for them. It’s tricky but really fun!

A HUGE Thank you to Anita for providing us with all of these great resources!
Two ingredients are all you need to make this wonderful cloud dough (scented oil is optional). I used a few drops of Rosemary oil in this recipe. This is a great recipe to get your children involved in measuring and stirring. Simply add the 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to the 4 cups of flour. Stir together until the oil is mixed in well.
Once the oil is absorbed, start using your hands to finish blending in the flour and oil until there are no more lumps. You will end up with silky, soft and airy dough. This dough is different from the regular play dough. Yes, it is a bit more messy but the texture is worth it. You will love running your fingers though it. This dough will hold its shape when squished together or using moulds and can easily break apart.
