Exploring China September 11, 2011

We “traveled” to China this week for our first adventure around the world.

We built The Great Wall of China.

We made Chinese lanterns and fried rice and ate Chinese candy and fortune cookies.  Parker loved the edible paper on the candy most of all!

After reading The Story of Ping, Parker made a Yangtze River scene for his art project.

We learned a few Chinese words and wrote our names in Chinese characters.

Tristan busied himself throughout the week with puzzles, play dough, and trucks & beans.

And the last photographed notable event…the foaming monster experiment. I’m pretty sure we’ve seen what happens when you mix baking soda and vinegar at least a hundred times, but somehow it is always exciting.  Tristan decided to style his hair with the dish soap while he was waiting for the foaming monster to work…nice.
