Ocean animals foam stickers

E. got a pack of ocean themed foam stickers. She got so excited that I had to find out a something so she could stick them somewhere immediately.



I wasn't in a very creative mode, I just gave her a sheet of blue construction paper and I joined her drawing some underwater scene.


We were just drawing and sticking... simple and great fun. Just what she wanted to do

The bottom of the ocean is ready: plants, floating algae, rocks and a sparkly starshish


Some animals at the bottom, some are floating, and a dolphin is jumping out:

I guess I need to buy another set of foam stickers :)

"Take a photo" scavenger hunt (with free printable)

In the middle of July we went up to the mountains. We were mainly in Hungarian up there but I wanted to have some English fun with E. As she's into taking photos a lot nowadays I made her an ad hoc "take a photo" scavenger hunt activity.



This sheet I made is hand-made but I created a free printable which you can download at the end of this post.

E. can take better pictures than this

We went for an excursion to a lake. E. at first wasn't very impressed with this activity, which surprised me to a great extent. But as we went along she got more and more excited.

All the photos were taken by her. Some are blurry some are absolutely gorgeous:

a bush with flowers

lake

Ms. Photographer

Invisible spider web

log

roots

she can't use the zoom but the ducks are in the top right corner
 She told me to add green plants on her scavenger hunt activity sheet:

green plants

blurry dragonfly as a bug
 I also needed to add "stones and rocks" as it was E.'s wish
Rock with moss

stones

the look out tower

oak leaves

Unfortunately, she couldn't take a photo of a butterfly as they never seemed to land. Anyways, this project was more them rewarding if you have a look at the pictures. I think we'll cover some other topics in the near future, like babies, playground, market, just to mention a few.
