Space Man and Space Woman Place Holders

I got this idea from lovehugsandladybugs blog It is a great way for the students to separate the words in their writing! 

Here is the Space Man and Space Woman template. 


Here is the label for the can


Print out the labels, laminate, hot glue them onto Popsicle sticks!


Add googly eyes for fun! 



The VERY Hungry Caterpillar

Along with reading the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar  by Eric Carle you can do an interactive activity with the students. 


Collect Milk caps/ Gatorade caps and place pictures of the good that the caterpillar eats. 

Cut out a hole in the caterpillar's mouth so the kids can insert the food!

Water Bottle Maracas!



I made these for the toddlers at the Lowry Center and they absolutely loved them! 

What you need...

--Fun colored duct tape.

--Empty water bottles.

--Something that makes noise, anything around the house. Sand, rice, buttons, coins, paper clips, bolts, pebbles, etc... A popular choice by the toddlers was CANDY!


I used pop tabs, rice, and nuts & bolts










Then... put your noisy stuff into your empty water bottles. (RECYCLING!) 


Finally... Cover your water bottles with fun colored duct tape.

--Exacto Knife
--Glue Gun
--Duct Tape
--Yard Stick



I cut: 
7-- 1 1/2'' strips 
7-- 1'' strips

--I covered them in duct tape
--Hot glued them down
