Crayon Hockey Pucks!

We made these chunky crayon hockey pucks. Why they might be good for you to try??

1. They are lots of FUN for the kids  as they watch them melting
2. A little science experiment about how heat melts an object
3. Great color mixing experience for them to watch
4. Amazing for the tiny toddlers hands
5. No wasting those tiny non-handleable broken pieces of crayon

What you will need:

1. A muffin tray
2. Aluminium foil
3. Broken/small pieces of crayon 
4. A napkin with  little oil to slightly layer the foil with oil. (you can also use oil spray)

Place it in a warm oven not HOT. After melted, let it sit until its cool and hardens. 

Ta da!

Food Theme

For our food theme these are some of the things we did.

We did the Montessori lacing activity with wooden fruits

Next day we learned about Patterns

We had bought these for our little Chief (H)

So when we were opening them I saved the container and thought I could use it as puzzle for AR for his food theme.

I got these cards from Samko and miko before I moved here to Saudi....this was a fun activity although Alhumdulillah he knows his colors very well but he really enjoyed it. I love the way he has them all soo nicely lined-up!!

We did a lot of fun baking and cooking!

We learned in detail about the food groups. We did an activity for the food groups... I wrote the food groups on a piece of paper and put it on a tile and then he had too put the food of that category in the tile. e.g fruits---> so he picked up all the fruits and put them in the fruit tile.

We also learned about different food people eat around the world. I made dinner from different cuisines around the world during the week, Chinese, Italian, Pakistani, Mexican, American and Arab to go with the theme.
