~Baby School - Puppies Theme~

Noah has enjoyed this more than anything we have ever done.

We started off with bathing a real pup. Since we have four of those I picked the easiest one to bathe.



We then made puppy cookies for our pups.







If you would like to make them:

Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

1/2 cups water (add more if needed)
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
3 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup oats

Blend all of the wet ingredients.
Whisk the dry ingredients.
Mix the dry mixture into the wet mixture to form a ball of dough.
Roll out and shape.
Place on non-stick lightly greased cookie tray.
Cooking time in my oven was 10-12 minutes in a 400 degree oven.



I set up a puppy vet and groomers salon for him on his table.


He wasn't happy about the puppy being sick.







He made him all better and covered the booboo with a bandaid and gave him some food.



Next up he groomed a puppy. He liked it much better than the real thing. He didn't like the soap and mess when we bathed Piper. He pretended to squirt the soap on, massaged the fur, and towel dried her.




I even made up some little sticky hairbows for him to tape into her hair. It was so fun!


He worked on his puppy color pages for a while.




Noah finished his work with some snuggle time on the couch with Piper. She is our most snuggly dog, too.


He feeds his pups a treat he made each day and he has been much more loving to them or aware of them since we started this together. It was a blast and it was like playing pretend with my best friend Heather that I grew up with. We did things like this all the time. :)

Fire Fighters ~ Baby School

Noey started his Fire Fighter Day with a color page. He reviewed the color red and talked about the fire trucks, the fire fighters, and fire.


I had the big boys babysit for a bit while I drew this house in the throws of a fire raging out of control. I went back in, gave him his fire truck, and told him to put on his fireman hat. We ran to the scene.


I gave him is "hose" a red spray bottle and he went into action.



Whew! This is hard work!




All in a days work...


Inside we would spin the red top for him to make "flames" for his trucks to visit. He had so much fun with this pretend play.


We read books before supper. He kept holding them. I guess he liked them and didn't want to let them go.


After supper we had a special treat for our fire fighter.


First you take the cup and draw a little face.


Cut out the little ears.



Attach to the cup with tape on the outside.


Make some vanilla pudding and add some mini chocolate chips.


Voila! A dalmation dessert fit for any baby fire fighter. ;)



Eat Like a Frog Game ~ Baby School

I took some of Noey's chunky lego blocks and built a little place to set the "bugs" and gave him a red party favor toy as his "tongue". He enjoyed this very much.




I would set the "bugs" on the points and he would use his "tongue" to knock of the bugs. He had a little frog coloring page this day and we reviewed the color green.



Birds

We had so much fun with Noah and his bird day. He bingo dotted his bird page.


I found the cutest little idea for bird feeders at Chasing Cheerios.
He really enjoyed putting the cheerios on the pipe cleaner.





Noey loves it when anything we do takes us outside.



He took some time with his puppy. :)


We came in and made this seagull.


I put three blue eggs on some paper in a tree branch I colored on and cut up twigs. I glued the area around the eggs in a nest shape. He took the twigs and put them in the glued area to make a nest.




Next he played with feathers.



While all of this feathered fun was going on Eli had birds in his science studies. Here he is gathering information about hummingbirds for his oral report on them later.
