Laundry Time {Five for Friday}

fiveforfriday2_thumb3
 
Its time for Doodle Bugs Teaching's weekly linky party!  This week our theme was laundry and the kids loved it!  I loved all of the great concepts we were able to incorporate into the theme! 
 
On Monday, we made muddy pants.  I took brown paint and added coffee grounds and a few wood chips for added texture.  Then, I gave the little darlings a shower puff and let them muddy up their pants.
 



This little darling was not so sure about the activity!


On Tuesday, we made clean T-shirts.  We mixed dish soap, liquid watercolors, and water together.  Then they blew bubbles in it and we printed the bubbles on a T-shirt pattern.  They loved blowing bubbles and letting them overflow out of the container!




 
Wednesday, we printed bubbles onto a towel cut out.


 
Thursday, we teamed up with Ms. Lola's class and took the sensory tables outside and filled them with soapy water.  We added doll clothes and let the kids wash them. 

 
During table time, we worked on identifying color words.
 
We also cut apart pictures of clothing with the letters of each child's name.  Then they matched them to the corresponding clothespin. 

 
We also practiced identifying numbers and counting.  For the morning class, I highlighted the number of socks they were to glue on each clothesline. 


 
During circle time we matched up socks.

 
And, as an added bonus Ms. Mary, our speech pathologist, did a language group with us!  She read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and then used props to help retell the story and answer comprehension questions.
 

 
As you can see, it was a great week!
