Sunday June 21th / Dedicated to Daddy!
Today is daddy's day! Here a list of activities to do with and for good old dad. Remember to treat daddy well and take lots of pictures!
Toddler
Let's all shave like daddy!
You need whip cream in a bottle like rediwhip.
Craft Sticks
This is best done outside! or try it at the sink looking in the mirror right next to daddy shaving! Daddy can really shave or pretend too. Toddlers may or maynot like to have the whip cream on their face but try it. Then they mimic daddy with the craft stick and "shave" too. I suggest whip cream and not shaving cream but toddlers will for sure get it in their mouths! This is also a great photo oppurtunity!!
Preschooler
Sit your preschooler down and ask them questions about Daddy. Record their answers or video it.
Where does daddy work?
What does he do there?
What is daddy's favorite thing to do?
When did mommy and daddy meet?
What is your favorite thing to do with daddy?
How old is daddy?
What does daddy like to say?
What makes daddy happy?
What makes daddy sad?
Toddler and Preschooler
Craft:
Cut paper the size of a wallet photo. Have your kids color a picture for daddy that can fit in his wallet and he can have where ever he goes! Draw pictures or even write a poem!
What other ideas did you do to make today special?
ALL SUBMISSIONS WILL BE CREDITED TO AUTHOR!!
Tomorrow is May Day!
Let's make some May Flowers.
You will need coffee filters, water colors or water and food coloring, paint brush OR an eye dropper.
Lay the coffee filter out flat. Use an eye dropper to drop small drops of color that will expand on the coffee filter and leave a nice design. You can also use a paint brush and just lightly tap the brush to the filter, you will get the same effect.
Let the flower tops dry.
Glue the tops to the top of a piece of paper. You can add stems with crayons, markers, or cut stems from a piece of green construction paper.
Extend: Make your flowers into May Day cards and give them to others with a special greeting!
You will need hard boiled eggs or plastic eggs / Large kitchen spoons
Egg Race: Try to balance the egg on the spoon and run around with it falling off. This can be inside or outside. It can also be a race or a free for all running around game.
Egg Hunt: Hide eggs filled with candy around your yard. Have a egg hunt / treasure hunt and collect the eggs. Remember to count the eggs before you hide them so you know if you have found them all!
