The More We Get Together

Today we will be singing with our hands, “The More We Get Together” and the “Hammer” song!

Some Activities to try outside as the weather gets warmer and brighter:

On those sunnier days, tape some paper onto a fence/wall, or use the sidewalk and let your child paint.  You can try newspaper, packaging paper or the back of wrapping paper for a larger painting surface.  These were my 2 boys painting outside when they were preschool aged.  It was a great way to get them outside and let make a mess where it was easy to hose down for cleanup!

 

 

 

 

 

No paint?  No problem.  Here’s an alternative.  Try painting with water!  All they need is some old paintbrushes and a small container of water.

You can also try making your own brushes to use outside.  Here, I used an old paint stick and chopsticks with some greenery from my garden.  Use either tape or an elastic band to secure them together.  Spray bottles, toothbrush, sponge or even a cloth are other great options.  Try “painting” on different surfaces like the sidewalk, fences, outside walls and doors and tree trunks too.  What happens when it’s hot outside?  Watch the water paintings dry up and disappear!

Get messy or not….remember to have fun!
