Fairy Tale Week

On Monday we read the "Princess and the Pea" story. The version I have is a little silly consisting of a moterbike and a date-a-princess agency, but the kids got the general idea. :) The kids did a great job of finding all the hidden pictures in the "Princess and the Pea" paper. The kids loved making princess and prince crowns. They decorated them with crayons, markers and even a few jewles.

They also enjoyed building a block castle around the sleeping princess.

Wednesdays story was "Jack and the Beanstalk." The kids made their own little book while working on the story sequence. We had a "real" beanstalk grow from some magic beans. We also played a counting game with "magic" beans. :)

On Friday, we read the story of "The 3 Little Pigs" (one of my favorites). The kids loved helping "blow" the houses down. They also did a great job of making the different houses of the pigs (straw, wood, brick). We also talked about why the 3rd pig was smarter and less lazy than the other 2 pigs.
