What a treat to have the dad's come and spend this time playing and learning with their kids. This is a day that is talked about the rest of the year! For our daddy day this year we counted using Dumptrucks and Unifix cubes. I found this game HERE. We also Decorated Mini Gingerbread houses using Graham Crackers and milk cartons. I thought this would be a fun activity to have the kids do with their dad's. We also had a Dinosaur themed sensory tub and Did a science experiment using homeade Dino Eggs with toy Dino's. The eggs looked a little questionable, but were so much fun and I let the kids keep the dino's after they "hatched" which they were ecstatic about! These are made using Baking Soda, water & food coloring. They hatch by having the kids spray vinegar on them. We used a toothbrush to help open them once they were close. You can learn more about the experiment HERE. We also played a game called Stay out of the Swamp. This is played by taking two pieces of rope and either laying them parallel or forming kind of an oval. You then tell the kids that inside the rope are some dinosaurs in the swamp. We don't want them to chomp our little toes so we have to try to jump over the swamp. Once they have mastered it you can spread out the rope bigger. You keep doing this until it is too far apart for the kids to jump over. We also did our usual morning routine, stories, songs, playtime etc. It was just a regular day only they got to have their dad's with us.
