Book Play - Mrs Wishy Washy

Another of my favourite books and so much fun to reenact.
The girls had their own tubs and their own animals; a cow, duck and pig.
They also had blue tissue paper for pretend water and a scrub brush.
"Wishy washy, wishy washy"
The brown tissue paper on the floor is pretend mud.
 After washing the animals they went back into the mud for it all to be repeated.
 After they played with their animals for awhile they became the animals; a pig, duck and cow. 
 I became Mrs Wishy Washy.
Each of them had a turn in the tub for me to wash them.
They then went back to the mud, stumping, rolling and flapping.
 Fun in the tubs!

Itsy Bitsy Spider Fun

Bugs!
There are so many different bugs.
Can you guess which one we are playing with here?
Right, it's the Itsy Bitsy Spider.
 
I taped a large cardboard cylinder to the wall and made a cloud with rain drops from a paper plate and a sun from yellow paper.
The spider is tied to a string, on one end, and a pencil on the other.
She loves putting it back in the water spout.

 Dad came in to watch and noticed that the tape was already starting to rip away from the wall.
He had an idea to attach the tube to this wooden stand.
It works perfect!
We will be able to use this "tube tree" for other activities in the future.
