All of our kids have advanced from being turtles to dolphins and to get them excited about being a dolphin (the big kid group name!) we made an under the sea welcome board. My creative swiss miss Sara and other half has made the dolphins, crab, seahorse and octopus (my favorite under water animal :) ) and I did the rest. All of the dolphins have their names and photos on it and the urchins and shells come to creative life and are part of story telling magic.
The famous and insanely adorable Mr. Men and Little Miss characters are a part of our daily lives and used to help us describe and talk about feeling words and actions. They are on tongue depressors making them perfect 2-d puppeteers and cheerful charms to settle disputes, strike up conversations about handling situations and getting the munchkins to give us some insight to how they are feeling that day. Brilliant!
We have many projects and crafts in the works, but to help get the ball rolling in our room, these were a few of my fun little additions. :)
