Halloween song

Today is Halloween!!!


This is a scary song that you can sing this night.

And remember... trick or treat? JAJAJAJAJAJA

Toy Story song

At the last publication I remembered my favourite tale when I was a child, so today I upload the film song “You’ve got a friend in me”.

I am sure that children will love it.

My favourite tale when I was a child.

My favourite tale when I was a child was Toy Story because I love the characters of the story. Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Rex… are fantastic, but my favourite character is Mr Potato. When I was three years old, my parents give me a Mr Potato toy and I played hours with it putting and removing all its pieces.

This is a short summary of the tale:

A little boy named Andy loves to be in his room, playing with his toys, especially his doll named "Woody". But, what do the toys do when Andy is not with them, they come to life. Woody believes that he has life (as a toy) good. However, he must worry about Andy's family moving, and what Woody does not know is about Andy's birthday party. Woody does not realize that Andy's mother gave him an action figure known as Buzz Lightyear, who does not believe that he is a toy, and quickly becomes Andy's new favourite toy. Woody, who is now consumed with jealousy, tries to get rid of Buzz. Then, both Woody and Buzz are now lost. They must find a way to get back to Andy before he moves without them, but they will have to pass through a ruthless toy killer, Sid Phillips.

Here I left you the film’s trailer.

 

Funny patterns

 

Patterns can be found everywhere in nature, from the veins in a leaf to the skin of a lizard. Patterns also play an important role in fashion and clothing design. This activity allows your child to practice inventing her own patterns while creating a portrait of a pet. This pet could be based on an actual family pet, or it can be a completely fictitious animal your child would enjoy cuddling with.

What You Do:

Help your child draw the outline of her pet using a pencil. Make sure she keeps the details to a minimum. Encourage her to draw the outline of the pet as large as possible so that it fills the page.

Help her to trace the pencil outline with a marker so it's easy to see.

Section off parts of the pet using a marker. We drew horizontal stripes across our animal, leaving a couple of inches between the lines.

See how many patterns she can name. Some of them may be: zig-zags, polka dots, plaid, stripes, argyle, diamonds and geometric.

Ask your child to design a different pattern for each section of her pet. She can use as many colors as she likes, but each section must be completely unique. 

When she finishes, hang up her patterned pet portrait for family and friends to enjoy!

Pinecone People

Who knew that nature could get so crafty? Show your kid how to collect and morph pine cones into a whole team of personalized pine cone people. He'll use craft materials such as pipe cleaners, yarn, and paint to personalize his pint-sized, plant-like friends. This project will inspire the nature investigator in him, while also prompting size, color, and shape comparison. For an extra lesson in self-awareness, encourage him to complete a mini pinecone of the self-portrait variety.

What You Do:

Embark on a pinecone-collecting adventure. Accompany your child outdoors to find pinecones in a variety of shapes and sizes. Ask him to compare the sizes to the members of your family. For example, the tall pinecone might be Dad's and the very smallest might be used for her baby brother.

Once he's gathered all of the pinecones, help him bend a pipe cleaner around the back, weaving it in between sections of the pinecone for stability. Leave the two sides of the pipe cleaner sticking out as arms.

Ask her to glue down the wiggly eyes on the front of the pinecone.

Help her add hair with cut yarn and glue, using a variety of colors for a fun touch.

Assist her in dressing the pine cones in their finest attire. She can cut scraps of fabric and glue them to the pine cone, or use tempera paints to paint on an outfit. Try wrapping the fabric all the way around the pinecone. This will cover up the pipe cleaner on the back that is connecting the arms.

Jewels

 

Here's a counting game that puts old buttons to good use and produces unique jewelry that your child can wear or give as gifts to friends. Make bracelets in different colors to accessorize everyday outfits or suit a particular theme. While she's having fun, your child is also building her fine motor skills, practicing color and size recognition, and sharpening her concentration.

What You Do:

Cut a piece of cord long enough to fit around your child's wrist, plus an extra inch.

Help your child lay out the buttons (and bells, if using) that she wants to use for the bracelet. Have her count each item as she works.

Have your child string a button onto the cord, threading the cord up through one of the button's holes from the back to the front and then down and out of the opposite hole. If your buttons have four holes, just use two that are on opposite sides.

Repeat step 3 until there is just 1/2” of elastic left on either side of the bracelet.

Tie a knot in the cord on each end of the bracelet, making sure the knots are larger than the button holes so the buttons don't fall off. If you're using a metal crimp tube, affix it to the bracelet with a pair of pliers.

Adorable pigs

Pig noses are adorable decorations made from recycled egg cartons. Each pig nose has a custom-designed personality depending on how it's accessorized. This is a great exercise for little ones to practice fine motor skills.

What You Do:

Help your child cut out individual cups from the egg crates. Cut out as many cups as she would like to make pig noses.

Have her paint all of the cups with pink paint. Allow to dry completely.

Ask her to cut out two pink triangles for her pig's ears and glue them in place from behind.

She can now glue on the googly eyes to create a personality for the pig nose.

Have her create unique features for her pig nose. We used chenille sticks twisted and cut for glasses, a construction paper bow, and raffia glued on for hair.

Paper bags cats

Paper bags can be pretty boring. Why not design the bag with a stylish fox to make it more memorable? Whether it's a bag lunch, goody bag, or used to decorate a table, this cute little fox bag is sure to make your kid smile. This project is also a great way for your kid to practice drawing and cutting basic shapes.

What You Need:

• Paper lunch bag
• Construction paper (orange, black, white)
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Pipe cleaners (We used orange and brown.)
• Glue stick
• Low-temp hot glue gun (Adults only!)
• Stapler
• Ruler
• Drinking glass

What You Do:

• Put whatever you want into the bag (lunch, toys, candy) and and fold the flap over. Staple it in place.
• Help your child cut a sheet of orange paper down to  5.5" x 5" to create the fox's face. Ask her to identify the shape of the orange paper (a rectangle!)
• Have her fold the rectangle in half. On the opposite side of the fold, have her cut out half of an oval shape. When opened, the fox's face will now have a nose.
• Ask her to glue the shape to the front of the bag, the flat edge matched with the top edge of the bag and the nose on the edge closer to the table.
• Have her fold a sheet of white paper in half and trace the bottom of a drinking glass on the center of the paper. Ask her what shape she just drew. Have her cut out the circles and set them aside.
• Ask her to fold a sheet of black paper in half and trace the cap of the glue stick. Ask her what shape she just drew. Cut out the small circles and have her glue one on each white circle to create eyes.
• Help her cut out a rectangle and glue it over the nose to create a mask for the fox. Glue the eyes in the center of the rectangle.
• Grab the white paper and ask her to draw and cut out a semicircle for the fox's nose. Glue it in place.
• Have her cut out a square from the black paper that will fit into the white semicircle. Glue it in place to create the tip of the fox's nose.
• Ask her to fold orange paper and cut out a triangle, then do the same with black paper, to create 4 triangles. Have her cut bottom half off of the black ones and glue them on the orange ones to create a two-color triangle. Glue them on the bag to create ears.
• Take over duties and add the final touch by gluing pipe cleaner on either side of the nose using a glue gun.
