Y is for Yak










Keeping with the theme of Y and yarn, we made a rather hairy yak with our yarn. Some were hairier (is that a word) than others.  But they sure had a fun time.  The color of the week was yellow and so we spent some time talking about all things yellow.  We finished our day with a snack of yogurt and yellow bananas.  These kids are so much fun!!!!

Y is for Yarn






Today in preschool we learned about the letter Y! We played with brightly colored strands of yarn. We made a fun web out of the yarn. The kids really loved making the web.  Who knew that some yarn and a challenge would be such a hit. It was a challenge to get them to do anything else.
I showed the kids a video on how yarn is made with a spinning wheel which truly fascinated them.  They were all anxious to sheer some animals in order to try making some of their own yarn on Bryn's spinning wheel. :)
All in all I think the concesus is they love yarn and are full of ideas of what to do with it.
