IGUANAS – July 16th – 20th

We read the book, “It’s Not a Box” and spent the whole week using our imaginations to turn ordinary cardboard boxes into houses, forts, cars, rocket ships, and more. Never underestimate the power of a young child with a box, some tape, a pair of scissors and some markers!

We even made some wooden boxes to take home! The Iguanas really enjoyed getting to hammer the nails on their own.

All this talk of imagination and creativity led us to discuss wacky inventions. We put a twist on one of the inventions we found and created one of our very own: Toothbrush Popsicles!

We also looked at some very useful inventions. We brought in a variety of household gadgets and had the kids guess what they might be used for. 

Of course, the best part was getting to try them after! We used a cheese grater to grate soap and then added some water and used an egg beater to whip the soap into bubbles! What kinds of gadgets could your Iguana explore at home?

Experimenting with magnets and water….

BJ The Clown….what a blast!

One of the most exciting things this week was our first trip to the library! The Iguanas did such a great job walking there!

After story time, the Iguanas got to explore the children’s section and do some reading. We can’t wait for our next visit!
