Sock Caterpillars!

Make your own stuffed animal, or in this case, caterpillars!

You can use tube socks or stocking socks, depending on how long you want your caterpillar to be. Craft stores do sell fabric glue if regular glue does not work. You don't have to add floral wire either, I thought it would be neat to bend it in a billion different ways and have it stay that way each time because of the floral wire. Shenanigans.

Boats!

On your mark, get set, sail!

Let your children discover how many different ways they can build a boat that sails or floats. Which boat floats the best? Which boat sails the fastest?

Here is the link for full instructions: http://www.teachpreschool.org/2013/05/making-simple-boats-that-float/. Also, the book mentioned in the post, Little Tug by Stephen Savage, is a good book that my preschool story timer kids and I enjoyed reading. Enjoy!
