A Little Red Cardboard Barn

We've finished our farm unit and are moving on to a new theme tomorrow - but before we do I wanted share the barn we made.


The wooden farm animals came with a beautiful handmade ark that we gave Big Buddy for Christmas a couple years ago.  I would someday love to have a wood barn but it's currently not in the budget. So in the mean time we decided to improvise and make our own. 


I stumbled upon this perfectly sized milk box (4 gallons per box) while subbing and thought it would be sturdy enough to handle play. Hubandie and the boys used an x-acto knife and wood glue to build a barn shape.

to get the doors to fold out hubandie used an x-acto
knife and scored the inside of the cardboard

We then painted with a basic primer and outlined a window and a door with painters tape.

cardboard is very porous so priming is a must if you want decent coverage

Big Buddy however insisted that we add more windows so it looked like the barn in our book The Big Red Barn. He even brought the book over so we'd know exactly how to do it :) 


Once everything was taped I let the boys paint the barn with rollers and washable, red tempera paint.





The boys really enjoyed working together and broke out in to fits of giggles several times.


We let the red paint dry and then Big Buddy used a foam brush and washable, black tempera paint to do the roof.

Mini Man doesn't believe in staying in lines yet so we did this
while he napped :)

When all the paint was dry we pulled off the tape...


And started enjoying our brand new toy.


Even though we are done with our farm unit, this will be on our playroom shelves for awhile.  It's not wood or super fancy but the fact they had such hand in its creation, makes it very special. 

Please check out our farm unit for more farm fun learning ideas. You can also find lots more units and crafts on our homeschool page

  29. Importantly, if it is, the hair will appear and feel damaged, leading the supervising social worker to suspect that a drug-detection evasion attempt has been made. For the same level of drug use, dark hair will undoubtedly absorb more drugs than blonde hair. Nonetheless, the tests are set at a sensitivity level that detects drug use by blonde-haired people. The dark-haired individual will have more drugs in their hair and appear to be a heavier user than the blonde-haired individual for the same level of use. This, however, cannot be deduced solely from hair drug levels. There is nothing a person can do to get the drugs out of their system. Although it is possible to produce a false negative (see previous), drug testers are trained to look for signs of manipulation. The best and only way to ensure a negative outcome is to avoid using drugs. Those who are aware go one step further and eliminate all traces of follicular growth from their bodies. This is not only painful and time-consuming, but it also raises our suspicions. In fact, it comes more-than-ready for use with heat activating powder and heat pads. So, you're not just paying for quality, you're also paying for convenience. The Urinator consists of several components: It is recommended you use nine-volt batteries for heating. However, the batteries are not included with the Urinator kit. For monitored tests, men have more success with plastic prosthetic penises that better replicate a male urine stream from the standing position.Regardless of the type of test and the method you’re using to transport your synthetic urine sample, it’s a good idea to practice the entire process before you go.

Normally I'd do a Dr. Seuss unit in March around his birthday. We had to do one now though because on Saturday Big Buddy and I going on a date to a  Dr. Seuss exhibit . The exhibit is only at the museum until January and I'm afraid if we don't go now we might not get the chance. We are of course reading lots of Dr. Seuss's books. A great advatage to studying Dr. Seuss in November rather than March is that all his books were available at the library. I also found a great children's biography which is perfect for preschoolers.

Last fall I saw the idea for refrigerator pumpkins with face pieces in FamilyFun Magazine  and have been anxious to recreate them ever since. It was pretty quick and easy and since the only thing we didn't have on hand was magnetic sheets ($1.50 with coupon at Joann's) it was also very cheap. my supplies: magnetic sheets, orange & black construction paper, white pen, tacky glue *i know they have self adhesive sheets but my Joann's didn't carry them   glued (very messily) and ready to cut Both the boys were quite enthused when they discovered them after rest time :) Hopefully it will keep them entertained until we carve real pumpkins.
