We have been doing an art project everyday even if it's just something simple. I really enjoy handprint and footprint artwork. I love to look back on past artwork to see how much his little hands have grown.Handprint and Footprint artwork doesn't have to be boring. Get creative! My favorite blog for this type of art is http://funhandprintart.blogspot.com/. This blog is fantastic! Tons of ideas.
On this particular day, I decided to make the day all about fish! We started off the morning with reading "One fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue fish" by Dr. Seuss. Love, love, love all books by Dr. Seuss! After reading the book, W made hand print fish.
Later in the morning, we went to the pet store. This pet store has tons of animals. Dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters, ducks, chickens, rabbits, reptiles, birds, fish and I'm sure much more that I didn't mention. W had so much fun walking around the store, pointing to each animal and making animal noises (more like listening to Mommy make the animal noises). I'm sure we were a very interesting bunch to the staff working that day.

Once we finally broke away from the cute and cuddly puppies, W picked out two feisty little goldfish and some cute fish toys. I'm such an animal lover, it's surprising that we didn't come home with more than just two fish!!! Since our day was all about fish, we spent some time making fish lips at the fish bowl and each other. We had salmon for dinner then we watched Nemo.
This was such a great 1st field trip! I think that our next field trip will be to the Zoo. Keep an eye out for that post!
