Field Trip: Kings Island

We got our gold passes to Kings Island and it was Love Bugs first time going!!

We rode the train!

  

She rode rides!

We Tula'd around and saw Snoopy!

We rode more rides!

She was a *little* bit skeptical of the carousel. 

We saw geese!

Obligatory KI pic :)

The Rainbow Fish

That's Not My Mermaid

Our jellyfish sensory bottle! 

Sea animals water play!

We did lots of art!

We recently discovered do-a-dot art. It's fantastic!

Love Bug and I each did a page.

I then cut out little fish and use them to do finger plays. Out favorite is "5 Little Fish".

We made our own splash pad.

Shaving cream sensory play. Always a big hit in this house.

One of our books, is an Osborne Shine-A-Light book called Secrets of the Seashore. You take a flashlight and shine it through the pages, and it displays hidden objects. It is actually a really neat book, and Love Bug enjoyed finding the hidden objects.

Sky (Day & Night)

Do A Dot art! I drew little stars on a piece of paper and she used the dauber to "get" the stars. 

Great eye-hand coordination!

Play doh, dry spaghetti pasta, and fruit loops. 

Threading the fruit loops on the pasta, check out those fine motor skills!

We made a star scope! Tape over one end of a paper towel tube, then poke holes throughout the tube. When you look into the tube it looks like stars!

Painting the sky! 

Rainbow dance ribbon...so fun for toddlers!

A kaleidoscope, because why not?!

While checking out our sky, we observed several airplanes and helicopters! So I made impromptu airplane-on-a-stick puppets.

Pom pin tube play. Fine motor, eye-hand coordination, and cause-effect.
