Princess Monster Truck

Heidi's pre-school has a child-led curriculum where they study what the kids seem interested in--they fit letters, colors, numbers, shapes, and scientific method stuff into whatever the kids want to explore. Addie's class was into robots. Heidi's class is into vehicles, especially monster trucks (this speaks volumes about where her fellow students are coming from, but that's another post).

To wrap up their unit of study, they all built their own cars and trucks at home last week and had a car show/ pizza party last night. I was dog tired, but we went and had fun. It's funny to see Heidi interacting with her peeps--she's such a character. If you click on the picture below, you can see the details. Basically, it's a cereal box, a cracker box, and 4 canning lids on skewers. I helped her with the duct-tape construction and gold spray paint, she did the rest with markers and scrapbooking stickers.

Monster trucks? That is TOO FUNNY that their class got into that. Paul is really into "speed racer" right now and I'm like, "what? how did this happen?" We bought him one of the old shows at a thrift store and that was the end of that.

Hope you are feeling well and good and good and well. :)
