Learning with Mommy: Clever Kids Club

Last week we did some activities from our Clever Kids Club packs.  Both of us enjoyed it since all the planning was done for me and Mouse really enjoyed the variety of activities in the packs.  I can highly recommend the Clever Kids Club to all!

Each pack consist out of the following:

• Flashcard {starts with the ABC, and colours as well as numbers follows in future packs, completing the entire ABC, numbers up to 20 and 10 colours}
• 5 fun and educational activities for the week
• Fun game / acitivity or colouring in page

You receive 5 of these packs in one bumper fun pack per month.  Subscription is R75.00 for 3 months, which works out to only R5 per week!! 

Here's some of the fun goodies we did last week from our CKC packs:

Activity:  Read a book and discuss My Body
We read the story of Babalela by Martie Preller.  This is by far one of Mouse's favourite books.  We looked at the Babalela, with the help of our little Babalela doll, and discussed his arms, the amount of fingers he has, the colour of his ears, the amount of ears, eyes, etc and how it compares to us humans, the colour of his tail and the fact that he has one!  She loved this and I had to read ALL our Babalela books (there are 3 in the series).

She loved this!

Activity: Paper plate duckies
We used some paper plates, cardstock for the heads, feet and beaks, yellow and white paint

Give your little artist the head, etc to paint and fold the paper plate in half - paint the one side.

Leave to dry.  I painted on a wing as well, but you can cut one from cardstock if you prefer.

Once dry assemble your ducky.  Glue the two sides of the plate together.  Glue on the beak, eyes, feet, etc.  This is Mouse's ducky. She glued everything on her own, so proud of her.

Here's my version!

Activity:  Science fun - milk and food colour experiment
Get your supplies together for this really fun experiment: milk, food colouring, dish washing liquid, tootpick, bowls.
Add some milk to a bowl and drop in the food colouring, now dip your toothpick in the dishwashing liquid and insert the toothpick in the colour blobs in the milk, you will see a colour explosion!  The soap breaks the milk's surface tension allowing the colours to mix and swirl creating beautiful patterns.  Mouse absolutely adored this activity!

Overall we had so much fun and I will be incorporating CKC activities into our daily homeschool schedule for sure!
