Another Elephant Idea

I really wanted to take the time to make elephant ears and a trunk for Tristan to wear. He is not really into the whole "dress up" thing, but I figured it was worth a shot. We have company coming and it has been a hecktic week, so time has slipped away. I wanted to share this idea below incase you were interested (from ask.com).


ELEPHANT TRUNK AND EARS - this was posted by Sherri Osborn.




I really want to make the nose turn up. I was thinking if you cut the paper towel roll into small sections (about two inches long) and punched two holes in each side, you could tie them together with pipe cleaners and bend it up. I have not tried this, but in my head it seems like it would work! Then you could spray paint it gray. If you do give it a try, let  me know how it goes!

E is for Elephant

Tristan has really started to enjoy watercolors. I think he mostly likes the splashing in the rinse off cup, but whatever, it is fun! I am not the best drawer, by any means. When it comes to certain things, I have to trace. Tristan wanted to paint so I pulled up a big pic of an elephant and traced it with silver paint pen. Then he painted it. He also painted the E and e that I had drawn for him.

Below is the final product!

I am not sure why it is so fuzzy... sorry :(

E is for ELMO!!!

One of my lovely facebook friends passed this along. I really wanted to make sure you all saw it! And to make it even better, IT IS FREE!!! :)

E is for....

I am a little slow with E week. We have had so much going on (that I never see ending) and I am trying to create an actual routine/daily schedule. I have yet to succeed with the schedule thing... Anyhow, we have started E activites. We mostly talked about the letter and tried to find it places. Tristan loves to "write words" using my computer so he tries hard to find letters. Its great! I wanted to provide a list of E words that could be used! Thanks to my friends on facebook for helping to create this list!
