Bubbles and Pi: Theme Days

In a way to mix it up I decided to invent some theme days to enhance C's learning. So on Friday we had Bubble Day. We started with a viewing of "Pluto's Bubble Bath" then proceeded to do some bubble painting. 

Bubble painting is very fun! (And a little messy with toddlers.) If you have not experienced the joy of bubble painting you mix tempera paint, water and a little dish soap in a small container. Then you blow bubbles into the mixture until they're above the container and you smush the paper on them to make art. 

We followed up the messy activity with a bubble bath of course!

Then we had a bubble themed lunch! PB tortilla bubbles, a "popped bubble" Cutie and mini pea bubbles. 

After rest time we then blew bubbles and with our bubble machine had a bubble dance party. I think it was all in all pretty successful! 

Then yesterday was Pi Day and a really fancy one at that! 3.14.15 9:26:53 so we decided to celebrate. We had pizza pie for dinner and homemade blueberry pie for dessert. 

C helped make the blueberry pie. It was my very first go at a lattice crust and it was pretty successful for the first time out. I took away some good lessons to do a better job next time too!

So those were our theme days. I am hoping to do more in the future. Maybe book based. We'll see!
