We began school by reading Fairy Nuff and the Goggle Monster out of the Fairy stories book and talking about bravery.
We added a Groundhog day book because of it being groundhog day. Unfortunately we didn't do anything else having to do with Groundhogs.. but we had fun anyway.
This picture was supposed to be last. After getting tired of our project of the day, she just wanted to paint a normal picture at her easel. She called it "The girl with the long yellow hair".
Back to school, we were doing 'printed fairies'. It was basically making fairies on paper with sponges and cardboard. First she made the bodies and heads with the sponges I had cut up.
Then added hair and arms and legs with a piece of cardboard.
She got tired of the cardboard and used a paint brush. She drew on one face and then wanted me to do the others. She was tired of it by then. She didn't even want to put the pink wings on. I don't think it was turning out the way she wanted because it didn't look the way it did in the book. Hmm... I wonder where she gets that from?
On day fourteen we made butterfly cupcakes. These were really fun and easy.. it was a small batch of six.. and very tasty.
Saturday morning I always make pancakes. That morning she requested Minnie Mouse pancakes. She wanted her to have a polka dotted bow.. this was the best I could do.
Later, after the paper had dried, we made it into a princess fan. You can see Abi is in another outfit.
Then we made Heart shaped Confetti Cookies.
I really love these little prep bowls. They make it so easy to have Abi help without making too big of a mess.
This was a chocolate based cookie.
While it was cooling and then cooking we read Cinderella and discussed it.
When the cookies were done I made swirls on them and Abi used a toothpick to make lines on them to make 'Cobweb Cookies'. I'm really not sure what that had to do with princesses.. but it's the curriculum and it's fun!
As soon as she was finished it went on her door. She was pretty excited about that.

Then Abi did a fairy puzzle she loves to do. It's a really easy one where you just put four pieces together to create fairies so at this point she doesn't have to think about it anymore and she sits and makes up stories and conversations while she puts them together.
We read all about princesses from the Princess Treasury book and looked at the pictures of real princesses from all over the world and found out what it would be like to be one.
Then the dough was finally ready and we cut out the hearts. We then had to cut little hearts out of the middle of those and then dip them into a pink sugar mix.
This made Spangly Sparkly Heart Cookies. Pretty but not so tasty... which isn't a bad thing. We didn't make very many so we each had one and then she has had a couple since but the rest of us aren't tempted! Yay.
but that gave her a chance to change her clothes AGAIN and then decorate the wand with glitter glue
and sparkly things...
