His favourite thing right now is heavy machinery. So when I saw a few excavators working on our street we just had to go for a walk and take a closer look.
Race to the Place!
Over the holidays we got a new puzzle that has the main organs and circulatory system on one side and bones on the other side. After we finished putting it together, we devised a new game:
Race to the Place™!
How to play:
- Get some small stuffies (seen below)
- One stuffy will be the “teacher”
- The “teacher” will call out an organ
- The other stuffies need to race to that place!
- If they get it right, they get a point
For example, the teacher would say “Race to the place….. the appendix!!”
Below you can see only two stuffies got it right.
I gotta say, I’m learning all my organs really well.
Might move on to the bones pretty soon.
Halloween Candy Chute
I made a candy chute for Halloween this year and I thought it turned out pretty good:
What I used:
- One 10-foot PVC pipe, 3 inches wide
- A sawhorse at the base where I screwed it on to
- Metal perforated straps to secure the pipe
- Christmas lights for decor
- Candy
What I need to improve for next year:
- The pipe width of 3 inches is not great for some candies, especially ones in flat square packaging – resulted in a lot of stuck candy. I need a wider pipe or smaller, heavier candy
- I need a method to unclog the candy. Maybe a large stick or a shop vac, or some dead rats
