My kids enjoyed painting foot prints while wearing inexpensive flip flops bought at a discount store. We displayed our creations under the caption "We've Flipped For Summer!"

Let's Go Fishing! / Father's Day themes....

I love planning my week based on a theme. It looks like my summer is going to be quiet in the child care area... but I will still have themes for my daughter and due a ton of lapbooks... I am hoping a few a week.

Okay... now on to this week's theme...

Let's go Fishing!!!

I am planning some ideas... that involve our Little Tikes cast and count fishing set.
The kids love playing with this... I think I might set it up in the little pool out back...
We also made rainbow fish today....
I cut out a fish shape out of construction paper (yellow)
and they kids glued on tissue paper in various colours with
a glue stick. They had a blast making them.
