Today was our first ocean themed Friday Fun. In the kitchen, students made octopus rolls from crescent roll dough and raisins. This was a fun activity that encouraged fine motor development. The children used scissors to cut eight tentacles from the dough….not an easy feat! Then they got creative with the raisin eyes and used the raisins to decorate their octopus.

 

We used Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. Each student got a triangle of dough to use to create their octopus. The rolls were then cooked at 350 degrees fro 12-15 minutes. They were very tasty!

Students also made ocean snow globes. They could draw their owl ocean theme or color in the fish that was provided. The results were magical! Thais activity also worked on fine motor development, as the students had to use a pipette to fill the snow globe with water .

Next week, Friday Fun will all be crab themed! Stay tuned!
