Continent party!

We celebrated the seven continents in Kindergarten. We had different stations set up for each of the different continents. Each child had a passport where they received stamps after they completed the activity. They love learning about other cultures.
At North America we made Statue of Liberty torches.

At South America we made butterflies out of coffee filters.

For Antarcticia we made igloos. I realize that they don't really use igloos in Antarcticia, but we couldn't think of anything else to do. Yes, they are wearing the igloos on their heads. This class is very goofy.

For Australia we made kangaroo pouches with a joey inside. Then they hopped all over the classroom.

For Aisa, we had a lady from Japan come in and she made oragami with the kids and they got to play with Japanese toys. They loved it.


For Europe they made crowns to be kings and queens.

And lastly, my favorite and I must say, most of my kids favorite continent... Africa! We made musical instruments and had paint all over us. We played my drum and wore African clothes. So much fun!
