Shark Week!

Since Discovery Channel Shark Week is coming up... AND it's TBT in Internet world... Another Throwback Theme! Last year's Shark Week! This was a really full, busy, fun week. We really just went with the flow and let our play evolve into bigger and better things. 

Painting the ocean...

Got pretty messy, so it turned into bathtime (with shark toys thrown in for fun). 

Anthony (oh my, he was so little!) played with shark toys while his sisters bathed. 

Then back to the ocean paintings to stick sea creature and shark stickers. 

We baked and decorated shark cookies. 

We made shark shirts with stencils and bleach pens. 

Anthony wore Katie's old shark onesie. 

We watched "A Shark Tale" (which is a pretty mediocre movie, but it fit the theme).

I made shark-shaped toast for breakfast. 

Toy sharks in gelatin made for a fun sensory experience. 

We tossed toy sharks into a painter's tape "net."

We made Model Magic sharks and sea creatures. 

Anthony avoided getting eaten by a chalk shark. 

I attempted to make a shark pancake for breakfast. 

Ellie is a scary shark!

We played with Play-Doh and real shark teeth. The idea was to make teeth impressions in the Play-Doh, but Ellie ended up killing Play-Doh people with the teeth instead. 

I made sharks and fish for Katie to smash. 

We made paper plate shark teeth. 

We went to the Downtown Aquarium. 

We made clothespin chomping sharks. 

And of course, all week we read different books from our extensive shark book collection.  This one's my favorite. 

Happy Shark Week!
