"S" is for Spider Webs

We have been plugging along with our curriculum and Kaylee would like to show you some more of her "work".
Lately we have been driving by many cotton fields. We have watched as the crops were planted, grew, and now have been harvested. We have seen the BIG cotton collector tractors thingys driving down the road and in the fields, and we have seen the giant cotton bails sit in the field awaiting a ride, to where ever it is they go after they leave the field. We have talked on numerous occasions about cotton and what it is used for. So one day driving home I saw this one lonely plant that had ALL the cotton left on it, while the others around it were bare. I decided to stop and let Kaylee pick a few pieces to see what it felt like, and try and figure out a project we could use it for.
Here is what we came up with.......


don't ask me why she wanted to kiss the spider


We did this project on a day that Ainslee happened to be spending the night with my mom, so she didnt get to participate. But we also made spider webs by marble painting. (FYI marble painting is an AWESOME alternative to painting, super fun!). Sorry I dont have any pictures of those webs and spiders. Both girls thoroughly enjoyed each web making project.
