A morning with little Dingo

It all started with a visit to Sea World on the Gold Coast to see the12 new penguins, six king and six gentoo, in their $12 million Penguin Encounter.

The penguins are from New Zealand and their new enclosure is kept at a constant temperature of one degree below zero.

Sea World make up to three tonnes of snow a day to help replicate Antarctica and keeps the water in the display at a constant 5 degrees.


My little Koala fell in looove!

SO.



Little Dingo came to play with Koala and have a morning in our Little Aussie Home School.


We had rencenlty picked up these books at a Salvation Army second hand shop for $1 each.

The boys had half a frozen juice box each to get into the feel of it :) It might be the end of summer but it was 30* and really HOT!

We painted squid

 and whale puzzles.

(paint is left overs from bubble painting with some flour added)

I put these in the freezer the night before. The freezer was full of containers!

The dog enjoyed the icy cold water and even took a dip.

Things we use that cost next to nothing!

These are the words from the word bingo. We purchased this from a school carnival for $1.

Each Monday Koala picks 5 words and we spend the week making up things to do with them so he learns the words.

The best one so far was twister!

He puts the cards on the mat and

 I say right or left foot or hand at the same time as tapping that body part.

He then twists himself up trying to put his hand or foot on the matching word!

This is a penguin game i printed online for free. I used a cereal box and Brother Kangaroo help Koala paint the fish. Then i laminated the cards.

Koala finds the big letter and matching little letter and feeds them to penguin- while penguin BURPS their sound!

These are 1-5 number cards from a 25 pack purchased at a $2 shop. Printed numbers of the net. Rubbers from a $2 shop and threading buttons from a second hand shop.

I put the whole lot in a bag and ask for his help to sort it out. Koala loves to be my helper so he gets stuck into anything like this straight away!

$2 for box of tiny rubbers in $2 shop. Perfect for counters!

Ice cube tray and base set and plastic tubes $2 shop.

This is kanga testing it out while Koala was having a nap.
