Pre-school

We've been checking out these backpacks from the library.  
They each have a story and at least one activity to learn about the subject.  Some of the suggested things are above 3 and 4 year olds , wanting them to write the answers, but all can be adapted.  On Thursday the 28th, the twins and I looked through the packs and went over all the fun things to learn.  In the Weather one there was a windsock.  After observing it and seeing how the wind was blowing, I figured we could make one.  Following are pictures of us making windsocks.
