Fine Motor JournalsIn honor of the exciting events this last week, let's spend some time thinking about Mars and space in our fine motor journals. The idea this week is to create a planet "rubbing." Cut out a circle shape, using a thick paper like cardstock, or thin cardboard. Place the shape cutout underneath your child's journal page. Give them crayons in shades of red, brown and orange and allow them to rub the crayons over the planet shape, blending colors to create their planets surface. Additionally, let your child write the word "MARS" in their journal, as well as "RED" and "PLANET." Have them tell you what they think it would be like to visit Mars. What is the rover doing there, do they think? Record their responses in their journal. Use other colors to add more planets and even stars if they like! Activity Menu for this week:

Fine Motor JournalsScience is a great theme for our fine motor journals, as there are so many things that children can draw, chart, or record. A couple of ideas that I particularly like are the "My Rock" example and the "Am I Magnetic" example. Read below for instructions on how you can incorporate these into your child's fine motor journal.
Always supervise if children are using small magnets. Consider hot gluing a magnet to the back of a plastic spoon or craft stick so that it becomes a "wand." Activity Menu for this week:
