Here is today’s video (5/28):

Follow-Up Ideas:

• Do your own tent-building STEAM project! If you don’t have mini marshmallows you can substitute pieces of play-doh/clay or gumdrops. If you don’t have felt, you can use paper or a piece of fabric.

Follow-Up Ideas:

• Make your own ice cream in a bag! Here is the recipe that I followed:

• Recycle plastic cups, glass jars, or plastic bottles by creating a lantern that you could use at your campsite!

• Write/dictate and draw about camping! If you have never been camping, what do you think your favorite part of camping would be? Think about the things that Pete did in the story (hiking, fishing, making a campfire, eating s’mores, sleeping in a tent). If you have been camping, what is your favorite memory from a camping trip?

Follow-Up Ideas:

• Make your own soups/recipes from nature! You can follow these recipes or write your own!

• Create a simple mud kitchen outside to serve your recipes in! Use stumps, rocks, cardboard, milk crates, buckets, wooden slabs, pallets, old pots and pans, bowls, cups, measuring cups, spoons, and/or anything else you can imagine to build your kitchen! Here are some not-too-complicated ideas:

• If you have a fire pit at home, have a campfire and have your child help to pour water on it when you’re done. Talk about other ways you can be safe near a fire (walk slowly around it, stop, drop, and roll if fire gets on your clothing, etc).

Here is today’s Creative Thursday video (5/21):

Follow-Up Ideas:

• Make your own puffy paint moon

• Smash some letter moon rocks! (If you do this one, please tell me how it worked out! I didn’t have cotton balls at home, but it looks like fun!)

• Tape paper “craters” to the floor (or draw them outside with sidewalk chalk) and jump from crater to crater! Add a math standard by rolling a die to find out how many jumps you will do.

Here is today’s video (5/20):

Follow-Up Ideas:

• Experiment with gravity at home! Try dropping different kinds of objects to see which ones fall fastest. Jump up high and feel gravity pull you back down. Start your toy car at the top of a hill and watch gravity pull in down the hill and make it go fast!

• Create art using gravity!

• Watch how astronauts make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches without gravity!
