Activity to go with the book "The Shape of Me and Other Stuff"

Let me start off by saying this book is a really fun book. It's by Dr. Seuss and is a must read. (If you can not find the book you can also listen to it on Youtube) This book goes threw the shapes of different things by looking at the shadows they make.

This makes for a fun activity of going outside on a sunny day and seeing what other shadows we could find. We started by finding our own and each others shadows. We did things like jumping and running to see how our shadows follow us. Then we went on to different objects.

^This was his Lego tower and car. One made a long shadow and one a short shadow.

Our van witch made a big shadow!

Our trash can, flower, mailbox, flag and flag pole were more we found. We talked about how some shadows are tiny, thin, and some were big. We talked about how the sun hitting different objects made the shadows and how each shadow outline the shape of the objects it hit.

We even found that our house had a shadow and that it was cooler in the shadow then in the sun.

Big giant slime ball!!

This was such a fun activity! All you need is two boxes of slime baff and a wubble ball. We got the super wobble ball. So to make this epic slime ball use the tube it came with and place it in the ball as directed on the instructions. Next pour in all the slime baff. After that grab a hose and hold it in the tube. At first we did not let it get that big, too scared of it popping. The kids including neighbor kids loved it. We played kid bowling and let this roll down the driveway. The kids thought it was the best thing ever to see this ball bend around them with out breaking. (will attach videos at the end) If you look close you can see the slime forming. You can barely tell it started as a blue ball. After awhiel of play we decided to make it bigger. We attached the tube and hose again and let it grow till the kids said stop. Below is how big it got moments before popping. This had to weigh a lot. Once the ball popped all the ki...
