Preschool Wrap-Up (week 14)

    

Art project:  Beehives using a lid (we used applesauce and juice lids), then we used a stamp for the bee, and put it on with a pop dot so it sticks out a little bit.  I got the idea from here 

Counting Cards

 Maze

Books to Read

Open and Close with a bee eraser hidden in one.

Golf tees and yellow pompoms (put golf tee in holes, put pompom on tee)

Bb Tray

Putting the bees/honey into the hives - I fashioned this from a cut up toilet paper tube, glued them together and glued them to a meat tray.  Using the spoon they will transfer the yellow pompoms, one in each circle.
