Princess School: Design a Castle

In a favorite episode of Sofia the First, Sofia and a friend design a castle of their dreams. Using If I Built a House for additional inspiration, I also made up my own plans for my own castle of my dreams!

We made a list and then I drew a picture.

Here were some highlights:

mermaid hippos in the moat
a dance room
a “treats room” with cookies, cupcakes, and candy
a water bed
a dressing room with pretty clothes and lots of dresses
a tower for Cedric (the sorcerer on Sofia the First)
slides down the sides of the towers
a dungeon for bad people to stay in

Making Paper: A Lesson in Recycling

We recycled old paper to make our own!

Here’s how we did it. First me, Paul, and Mom ripped up old, used paper.

We mushed it up in water for more than a day.

Then we pressed it in a screen and drained it.

After we dried it on towels for a few days, it was ready to write on!

I was disappointed that it was so bumpy! But it was good for writing messages and drawing pictures anyway!

Playing in the Snow

After we play in the snow, we need hot cocoa, of course!

Princess School: Rapunzel

I love princesses and I love building with LEGO bricks, so we’re trying something new for school: Princess School! We’re starting with Rapunzel, and we’re going to engineer a tower for her out of big blocks.
