aliens

i decided to start having themed weeks at home. i wanted to start doing more with the kids that is more geared toward teaching, but also having fun and spending time with them. so i made out a schedule and have been thinking of activities, crafts, books, food, movies, etc that I can do with them for each week. some themes are more fun and some are more educational or biblical. this week was our first week and i wanted to start out very easy. so it was a fun week. aliens.

we did a really fun craft project and made alien hats. my friend alison introduced me to this awesome website where i found the idea.

we colored a couple of different alien coloring pages that i found online.


we read a bunch of alien books.


and we watched some fun alien movies - lilo & stitch, toy story 2 (it has the little green aliens).

i have already bought all of the stuff for next week and checked about 50 books out from the library. well not that many, but it will feel like it when we start reading them all.
