This week we together enjoyed the natural wonders of sands, cactus and desert.
Reading: Cactus Hotel
We read a classic children book "Cactus Hotels" together. It was about how the animals shared the giant cactus to make their own each little room in the desert.

Real Cactus
We bought variety of cactus in small pot and showed them to our children. They enjoy using their little fingers to gently touch the thorns. We talked about how much water a cactus needed to survive and the common features of cactus.

Cactus Sculpture
We made green play dough for our children to make "cactus" this week. Then our children were given dry noodles to add thorns to the "sculpture". This was not only a fun group artwork but also a good exercise to enhance the children's small motors as they tried to precisely control the tiny noodle pieces and put them into the dough.
