Three little pigs and the big bad wolf! Home activity 13.10.15 - Huff, puff, blow it down!

What a great first week to our new book! The kids really enjoyed listening to their new story and I had a lot of fun acting it out, too! They all have a great understanding of which materials are used to build each of the pigs' houses. This activity showed me that the kids of KM have progressed from the start of term in their ability to listen and carry out activities independently.










































We did a blow painting experiment. The children really enjoyed blowing through a straw and watching the paint splash!















Can the wolf blow it down? Let's see what happens... watch the kids try to blow down different items!

























































As a home activity, try this again with your kids. Ask them to blow down different items around the house (they can pretend to be the big bad wolf) - then talk about which items they could and couldn't blow down. This will help your child's understanding of materials and weight. Please feel free to e-mail me any pictures, it will give us something funny to talk about at circle time!
