art & learning: Fireworks Coloring Page + Word Search

Fireworks Coloring Page + Word Search | Mama Miss #fireworks #coloring #the4th


Party of three!  Party of three!

Good things come in threes, huh?…”What’chu talkin’ ’bout, Willis?”

Well, there are The Three Bears, The Chipmunks (you know, ALVIN, Simon, and Theodore), Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, 3 ring notebooks, three little kittens that lost their mittens, the saying “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil”…okay, I could go on forever.  I think you get the point…and now which I have no idea what the point is! HA!





Oh, that’s right, I have three fun activities for you- that’s what! :)

  1. There is a word search – YIPPEE!
  2. There is a coloring/painting page – WAHOO!
  3. There is book recommendation – WOOT WOOT!

So, I whipped up this little coloring page (or painting page if you print it out on watercolor or heavier paper) for V the other morning & wanted to turn it into something educational too.  I spelled out the word “fireworks” and hid the letters throughout the picture (note: V is a wee little miss of 2 1/2 so the letters are not hidden really well…well, they are pretty obvious, but they were just complicated enough for her :)

We talked about fireworks & I asked her to tell me something about them and she said, and I quote, “boom” :)  That’s right, fireworks do go “boom!”, ♥ her!  I then got the “boo” crayon (boo, you know blue, well it is her FAVORITE color), and we spelled out the word.  And letter by letter we searched for them in the picture…she circled them with her little squiggly circles as we found them :)

I couldn’t resist the visual montage…so bear with me ;) (yes, 4th one down on the right side is a kitty cat – she circled the R & then added ears for a “kit kat” :)

After that, it was on to the painting…I printed this out on watercolor paper so it would hold up a little better.  I used glitter glue (I thought what better than glitter for fireworks!!) mixed with water for a kind of watercolor moment & gave her a brush!  She loved it – so much so – I kept hearing “hang up mama”.

And this would be what “hang up mama” means:

PROUD MAMA MOMENT! :)  Can you tell she likes kitty cats? :)

And here is that book recommendation.   A very cute read & at the end (SPOILER ALERT) the mice watch fireworks :)

“Fourth of July Mice!”  by Bethany Roberts

 


I stumbled upon this book at my volunteer job (a kids consignment store) last week.  Side note: I have a serious problem when it comes to used kids’ books.  You will find me at every library book sale & consignment sale purchasing books by the trunkful…No joke! I do not kid about books ;)

Currently, V has in her room a 6 level bookcase completely full and overflowing with books, along with a reading center busting at the seams, and a cubed 4 hold bookshelf completely brimming as well.  T already has a three level collection in his room started.  I can’t get enough of them.  V loves them, and I can’t help but feed her with them.  I even have a stockpile of about 60 books in my sewing room that I will periodically give her as a reward.  I’m definitely feeding the kids’ book addiction by volunteering where I do and I definitely come home with a bag of books every Tuesday night…I guess it could be worse ;)

Side note #2:  ummm, when looking up this book on Amazon, it’s $26!  Insert Joey Lawrence, “Whoa!”  As you can see by my pic, I paid a whopping $1 for it (well, actually it was $0.85 after my discount) and it’s in perfect condition.  I don’t even think it was read.  I LOVE USED BOOKS- they bring such joy to me!! :)

Meanwhile… this is my night ❤️💕Prepping v Meanwhile… this is my night ❤️💕Prepping valentines for my co-op kiddos, for tomorrow.

Speaking of yummy breakfast. Let’s forget the Speaking of yummy breakfast. 

Let’s forget the kiddos & their fruit platter for a moment shall we 😉

This is my EVERYDAY breakfast - my strawberry chocolate protein shake! 

🍓🍫After working on several protein shake concoctions for the past year… trying to find the best tasting/best macro ratio/least calorie one for me - this is it. I have this every morning after my workout… literally every morning. I will also make it with the Afterburn vanilla plant based (the whey based one is too much for my stomach) protein powder too, but I prefer the chocolate. 

(swipe for ingredients/macro breakdown)

Now, protein shakes… yeah I know, ewwww, right?! Noooooo!  Guys, before I started at Burn, almost a year ago, the last protein shake I had was over 20 years ago (when I was fitness crazed twenty something) - I HATED protein shakes.  They were sooooo gross that I used to hold my nose to drink them quickly… they were nasty. #nojoke #iheldmynose

Friends, protein powder has come a looooonnnnng way in 20 years!  Now I don’t know about other protein powders out there, I looked around a little, but I couldn’t find anything comparable to the calorie/macro ratio that Afterburn has.  #notanad #myhonesttogoodnessopinion
Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗 I love doing little Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗

I love doing little boards like this for the kids meals - you get the most bang for your buck. Plus, it looks more fancy & complicated than it really is - it’s really just fruit placed on a plate with yogurt & waffles. 

They each get their own board. #becausesiblings #noexplanationneeded 

I only got a pic of one plate because T started devouring it before I could snap a pic 😆

Their boards today have:
🍓🫐 🍌
strawberries
raspberries 
blueberries 
bananas
satsuma mandarins
clementines
blackberries
blood oranges
yogurt
blueberry waffles 

I give them a fork and a spoon - the yogurt can be used for dipping or just eaten as yogurt.
The depth & complexity of a middle schooler. 🧐🤔💭

Going from goofy monikers, chatting about Bieber, disagreeing with friends over who liked pale mint green first, spending forever with her cousins picking out lipstick…. ➡️➡️➡️ to spending HER Christmas money at Barnes & Noble last night on these two books: Like The Willow Tree/Lowry - about the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic & The Bridge Home/Venkatraman - about homeless children and poverty in India 🤯 📖📚👩🏼‍🏫
