'B' Week

'B' WEEK

Baby
WHAT WE DID


ACTIVITIES: Sharon had fun playing with Bubbles.


BODY: We picked our Backs as the body part for B week. We did some simple exercises stretching our backs and then Mommy gave Sharon a Back rub.


CRAFTS:
Photo frame: We glued baby photos in one of the frames put a recent picture next to her baby picture to compare.
Made baby foot prints: METHOD:Have the child make a fist. Apply paint to the side of their fist closest to the pinky finger. Have them press their fist to a piece of paper. That will make the main part of the foot. Now using their index finger dipped in paint, make the five small toes.

Collage: We cut out pictures of babies from magazines. Asked Sharon to describe what the baby was doing, what it looks like and made up a story about the baby. I wrote what Sharon said about the picture and read it back. We circled the word ‘baby’.
Memory Handprint:
What You Need:
1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Salt
Water
Food Coloring (optional)
What You Do:
Mix flour and salt, add enough water to get a firm clay-like mixture. Remove 1/2 cup of dough and press it into a circular shape on a lightly greased cookie sheet. It should be large enough for a child's hand or foot to fit onto with the fingers or toes spread out. Push child's hand or foot firmly into dough. Let dough dry for several weeks or put in oven at 225 degrees for 2 to 4 hours, depending on the thickness of the dough.

Made the B template so that she can learn the alphabet

LANGUAGE: Talked to her about the letter Bb. Told her that ‘Baby’ starts with the letter B. Then I made her spell the word ‘Baby’ that I had hung up.
Read her a nice story about Baby.
Finger and Pencil Tracing
Got a book from library and read a nice story for her about being a big sister.

SCIENCE /LARGE MUSCLE:
GAME
Had her crawl like a baby.

SCIENCE:
We talked about diapers and their use. I explained that the "fluffy stuff" helps absorb the liquid. I took apart a new disposable diaper and let the children feel "fluff". I then put some of the stuff in a tall drinking glass or vase, about 1/3 full compressing it down. I slowly poured water into the glass, adding about 1 cup. I then slowly turned the glass over asking "Where did all the water go?" Gave it to her so she could feel it.
Baby Sensory
Brought in baby oil, baby lotion and baby powder. Let Sharon apply it for baby.


FOOD: Go bananas
