Salt Painting and the letter "M"

I found this on Pinterest, and decided to try it!  What a concept - actually DOING something that you pinned!!!  :)

I don't think it turned out as well as the one in the blog tutorial - but it was still fun.

Here is where we found our inspiration:

Salt Painting

Here is our version:

Draw a design with glue

Dump massive amounts of salt onto the glue - this was by far the funnest part.

Your glue design is now covered in salt.  We were working on the letter M that day, so Caleb wanted Mickey Mouse.

Once the glue is dry - takes ALL DAY - then use some water colors to paint!

Caleb enjoyed this very much.

We are working on the letter "M".

M is for:

Mom

Mickey Mouse

Monkeys

Moose

We read a book called:  "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie".  At first Caleb didn't really want to sit still for it.  Then after we were done reading it, he asked for me to read it again!

I found some Monkey Size Sort cards: HERE.  For the first time, Caleb really understood putting them in order from biggest to smallest!!!

Letter M is complete, and we need to get to letter N.  My goal is to start doing 2 letters per week.  Caleb is getting a tad impatient with me! :)
