We’re back in the summer routine, and doing weekly themes like last year. This week’s theme is “Hello, Summer Sunshine!” and we’ll be doing all sorts of fun, sun-themed projects.
This morning we headed outside to make some Chalk People:

Anna thought it was hilarious that she was about the same size as my chalk shadow.
But wait, there’s more! We made some sunshine decorations!

First paint half a paper plate yellow.

When they’re dry, stick on some googly eyes…
