Hello Summer Sunshine!

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:

First, we traced each other's shadows with chalk...
...then we colored ourselves in...
Yes, the yellow shirt is now covered in chalk.

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!

Paper plate, clothespins, paint, brushes & googly eyes.

First paint half a paper plate yellow.

Such a pretty yellow!
There are a lot of crevices in these plates!

Then paint some clothespins yellow.

This is messy. Unless you get your mom to hold it for you.

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

Is there anything googly eyes can't make cuter?

…draw a mouth…

Nothin' fancy, just a sharpie.

…and add the clothespin rays!

Cutest. Sunshine. Ever.
Smile for the camera!
