Giants!

Theme of the Week:
Giants!!


We read "The BFG" as a family...and the kids loved it...all of them!
They decided that Giants would be a great Theme...
The kids came up with a ton of creative "GIANT" ideas!


The BFG is 24 ft tall.....The other Giants are 50 ft tall!
If all the kids stand on each others shoulders, they are only 18 ft. tall!


We made a Giant the size of our driveway...and it was only 36 ft....
It was a CUTE 36 ft!


We found these BEAUTIFUL - "GIANT" TREE...we had to all join hands in order to reach around it!
(Even DAD and I are joining hands...it was BIG!)


What if we were a giant, and were invited over for dinner?
How many bites would it take to eat a triple decker ice cream cone?

3!


Peanut butter cookies are a favorite around here!
It takes a GIANT a lot more Peanut Butter Cookies to be satisfied!
(We just used chocolate chips for the kiss in the middle...too cute!)


GIANT hopscotch!
With contest of who could do it the fastest!


We also decided to sneak into the BFG's cave...and taste his lunch!



The Frobscottle was delicious!


It even made the kids float or jump in the air!


While watching the movie...THE BFG...
they ate a GIANT popcorn ball!

The BFG Stands for Big Friendly Giant!
We got the teeny tiny treat ideas from the American Girl Magazine! =)

Loving your teaching ideas. :) I hope you have an awesome time teaching- it's the best job ever. That and being a mom. :) I'm so glad I could come over the other day and show Grayson off. I know you'll see much more of him, because I can't stay away from my mom and family for too long. Glad you found my blog too!! I had fun with all the pregnancy updates- it was the only way to really remember what went on every week with all the changes that were going on. I had to look back on my blog to remember some details for his baby book. And now I can update about our family- especially for Jared's parents- with the blog. And you too. :) Glad you found me.
