Igloo craft with marshmallows or sugar cubes

Make and igloo out of marshmallows or sugar cubes.

I have to be honest, we never finished this craft. 
 Junebug wanted to keep eating the sugar cubes. 
So, only half the igloo is finished.
I plan to do this craft again when we reach the letter I again later this year.

Supplies needed:
Paper plate
styrofoam cup
glue
marshmallows or sugar cubes

First, cut at least 1 inch off of the top of the cup.  You can judge it on how tall you want the igloo.
Next, glue the cup to the paper plate.

 I just added the glue around the bottom and she added the sugar cubes.
(until she realized she could eat them) :)

Letter of the Week - Ii - Insects in ice

Introducing Science

We froze some of her insects during our letter of the week activities.

We put them in the freezer in the morning.

They were frozen and ready to explore when we finished lunch.



She insisted we freeze more of her bugs :)

Busy Bag- Ice Cream patterns

Felt Ice Cream Cone Patterns
I made mine out of felt but you can also use construction paper. 
I printed the templates on card stock instead of laminating the paper.

I made this to use during our letter of the week - Ii
This is another fun way to practice patterns. 



Busy Bag - Insect/Bug kit

I have to say this has been very popular with Junebug! 
I brought this out during our letter of the week Ii. 
Of course, it would work during the Bb week as well. 
Or any time your little one wants to explore bugs or insects.

I got this bug kit a couple years ago at the Dollar Store for Junebug's 1st birthday party favors. 
I am so happy I finally have a use for the kits we didn't use.

I bought a 6 pack of insects at the Dollar Store about 2 weeks ago. 

There are so many ways to explore with this kit. 
This kit included tweezers, a net & magnifying glass (on the lid)
