Not sure what happened to the photographer here ;)
We made Eiffel Tower models using wafer cookies and frosting. We got the idea from another ECC blogger. Then we found a great recipe by the one and only famous rat Remy from Disney's "Ratatouille". Remy's Eiffel Tower Cookie Sundae
Doodlebug's tower didn't want to stay standing.
Pollywog with her masterpiece.
Yay! It's still standing!
Then we made chocolate truffles. We had more fun making these than eating them. The cocoa powder on the outside didn't taste that great. Even Inchworm didn't want to eat them.
We tried our hand at painting a replica of one of Monet's masterpieces. For using masking tape and finger paints I think we did rather well... for beginners ;)
This one is Pollywog's.
This one is Mama's.
And as you can see Doodlebug was very proud of his.
We watched these movies
and read these books.
This one was a favorite!
In this book we read the story of the Millers Son.
In this book we learned what the word symmetrical means and took a rabbit trail to find symmetrical shapes around the house. Then because the kids love Madeline so much we read as many Madeline books as we could get our hands on and watched numerous Madeline movies on netflix.
Another favorite!
We got many laughs out of this one.
Doodlebug's reader was this book.
He really enjoyed this one and will most likely be reading more of these later in the school year. I just don't understand why they are listed as 2nd grade reading, in my opinion they seem at a higher reading level than that. Anyone know?
We also had a cheese tasting day and tried numerous different types of cheeses. Once again forgot the camera. Doodlebug's favorite was the laughing cow cheese. Pollywog still wasn't feeling that great and said the cheese kind of upset her tummy. She still tried a few though and well had fun. Inchworm of course liked them all whether from his plate or someone elses.
I think that about sums up our travels to France. There were also some websites that we perused through to find information on the Eiffel Tower and Monet. It was by far the best part of our trip around the world to date.
