Monster Week!!

Slime!
Math, science, sensory, fine motor, cause & effect, language development - all in one great Monster theme activity!
We combined 12 teaspoons borax with 2 1/4 cup warm water in one bowl and 2 1/2 cups glue with 3/4 cup warm water and green koolaid or food coloring in another bowl. We slowly pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture and excitedly watched the mixture form while one of the friends stirred!

the language used was so fun to hear!
"its lumpy now"
"oooh slippery"
"soft like gum"
"greasy"
"its slimy"
"Im gonna make a slime cake"
"its slippery and hard"

Monster week!!

Big Green Monster!
I put number stickers on the monsters on the table, the kids turned them to find the number and thats how many items they got to feed the Big Green Monster! We used all sorts of things to feed the monster - plastic insects, cars, little teddy bears, etc.
