What's in a name?

After some extensive brainstorming sessions, careful deliberation and a democratic (and unanimous!) vote, we have decided on our group name! From this day forward, we shall be called

The Playful Pandas
The Howling Volcanoes

Hungry Hungry Hippos!

On a super hot day we went inside and played board games at Snakes and Lattes. They have over a thousand games to choose from and a great selection of kids games to boot.

We made a chalk mural on the sidewalk beside the park. Of course there were a lot of hockey references (go Canucks!) within the images...

Rappers and the like

Here's a funny video of how the kids interpret rap music.

Summer is Here

We made Crepes and learned about French food.

Always fun to walk through Little Italy.

Special cold treats on a hot day when it's just two kids.

Puppets and Games

We made mini pizzas!
We painted papier mache puppets!
We learned to play some new board games!

Fun times!

It's starting to warm up. Spring is here! That also means lots of rain... not so fun. We take the good days as they come, and on the bad days we make the best of it. Here's what we've been up to lately:

On the nice days all you need is a picnic table to turn into a pirate ship...

We decorated Easter eggs....

Great work!

Salvador takes a surprise shot of Sophia...

This week we baked brownies with a secret ingredient....

Black beans! Great way to make brownies healthy and low fat, high fibre. They (well all but one) loved them!

Zine Dream!

 This week we focussed on making our very own DIY magazine (zine). On Monday we spent the afternoon researching magazines, seeing what we liked about them and thinking about what we wanted to contribute. On Tuesday we drew comics and drawings together and even made our own version of Spy Vs Spy.

On Wednesday we cut up some kids magazines and collaged them for the cover, and drew some more comics. After pick up I photocopied it all and handed it out to the kids on Thursday.

Checking our reflections before heading into the ROM

Weeks with Sun!
