Quick Farmy Fun!
I was at the craft store and I found some of those little capsules that have sponges in them. You know you put them in water and the “grow”! Well the package said they were farm shapes, so I had to get them! We did them yesterday and they were super excited! It was fun to watch them waiting excitedly for then to unfold (I had to help them along a bit)! After they were all done, I split them, 6 for each girl. Pup thought they were cool, and ripped 3 of them into bits. I don’t know why, but she was tearing alot of stuff! Bunny Loved hers and thought they were prefect to make a work! She got out two bowls and proceeded to use the sponges to transfer the water from one bowl to the other! You know you have a Montessori child when they make their own work! 🙂

Just a thought…you could use the animal sponges (after they’ve grown) to sponge paint a farm scene! Then Bunny could label them – seeing as she’s already working on the farm game. A nice extension lesson 🙂

Ohhhh! That is an awesome idea! I think I will do that later today, or tomorrow if the girls arent feeling better. They seem to have caught a small summmer bug! Thanks so much for the idea!

That is a really great idea! Lori’s boys LOVE these, especially JR. They are perfect because they hold their attention, are cheap, have so many different kinds and are fun!
