Clubhouse Scientist: An Eyeball, a Jar, and a Giveaway!

Whenever I travel without my Clubhouse Kid, I make it a point to bring back a gift for him. Unfortunately, I usually don't remember to get said gift until I'm at the airport awaiting departure. That leaves me to search airport shops looking for something fun that doesn't cost more than my airfare.

In this case, I found an eyeball.

What boy wouldn't be excited to receive an eyeball from California?

...and so it begins.

 

Clubhouse Easter Eggs, Naturally Dyed and Decorated

A visit to the Farmer's Market and some ingredients from the pantry was all that we needed to create these naturally dyed eggs...

Clubhouse Creation Station: DIY Hungry Caterpillar

Some of our favorite activities around the Clubhouse have always been to take our favorite books and bring them to life...

Clubhouse Snowman

There are parts in the Arizona desert where it snows.

The Clubhouse is not located in or near those parts.
On purpose.
When we moved here from Buffalo, NY my plan was to quite possibly never see snow again.

Then I had a kid,
and he wanted to make a snowman...

Clubhouse Calendars

Happy first day of January :)

First thing this morning my Clubhouse Kid asked me,

"What day is it and how many days until we go to Buffalo?"

He led me right into today's activity, getting our January calendar ready.

We have been working on our 2013 calendar center, and wanted to have a space where we displayed the entire month. I wanted a monthly calendar in which he could trace the name of the month and all of the dates, since he is very much into tracing right now and enjoys practicing his letter and number writing. I also wanted the month and days of the week listed in both English and Spanish, since we are always incorporating Spanish into the Clubhouse Classroom. My searches came up with no results, so I took to making the template myself...
