Today's challenge was a 2 week challenge. We had to find items with polka dots. It had to be items that specifically had red, blue, purple, green, black and yellow with white polka dots!
--------------------
1. RED
Our cool mushroom toy from Finn is red with white polka dots!
--------------------
2. BLUE
Mommy created this pinwheel out of blue duct-tape with white polka dots. It's made from a pencil, duct-tape, paperclip and a piece of round plastic (kinda like a straw.) How creative is Mommy! It even spins!!! We made a video that has the pinwheel in it. http://youtu.be/J1Ps2o55QZY
Did you hear our neighbor dog bark in the video? Hope you didn't think that was Ben who barked. Ben yaps just like me, butt not as often! Anyway...
Mommy's sister has a pair of garden gloves that are blue with white polka dots too!
--------------------
3. PURPLE
Mommy saw a Lilly on the window at church and it has a purple with white polka dot plastic paper around it.
--------------------
4. GREEN
Mommy's niece actually thought of Mommy's green dice, doesn't it look like white polka dots. (Mommy's nephew calls dice a "domino". )
Mommy thought the green leaves on the apple tree on the right, with the white flowers blooming on it looked polka dotted! We were too busy playing with our ball to notice the polka dots though!
--------------------
5. BLACK
Mommy ate jellybeans at work. A co-worker brought them in. Mommy hasn't had a jellybean in probably 20 years or more. She never buys them, she knows she doesn't like all the flavors, so she doesn't buy them.
So, it was like a blast from the past for Mommy eating jellybeans.
She took out the black and white jellybeans and arranged it in a polka dot fashion above.
She ate a few of the jellybeans! She felt like a kid again! Thus the "Jellybean the Clown" picture. I thought you weren't supposed to play with your food -- Mommy!
--------------------
6. YELLOW
Mommy arranged the Yellow and White push pins. And we made a sign with our names on a yellow piece of paper and Mommy added "white-out" dots to it!
Mommy also noticed a Yellow ribbon that had White polka dots -- but she couldn't snap a picture of it in time. (Guess you just got to imagine it.)
We sure had fun with this polka dot challenge (including Mommy)!

Wow, look at that! You did really well! Mine will be up tomorrow, but I didn't find as many clear cut dots as you! Bravo!
ReplyDeletePS, glad to see the mushroom is doing good!
Very neat idea with the duct tape pinwheel and seeing polka dots in the pushpins.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are really rocking these challenges. I like how you think outside the box!

So clever! I like the jellybeans!
ReplyDeleteLOL! You are good! Loved all your polka dot stuff, especially your jelly beans, dice, and thumbtacks. What fun.
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how many great things you do with duct tape!!
ReplyDeleteI thought you were very creative in coming up with the variety of colors of polka dots. BTW, did you know where the name "polka dots" came from? I hope it's okay if I post a link to a post I once wrote about that name. http://wordsallaround.blogspot.com.au/search?q=polka
Your Mommy is so clever!
ReplyDeleteThe pin-wheel is great, reminds me of seaside holidays
Your mom is so creative! Amazing she could find all those! Of course I know you guys helped a lot too.

ReplyDeleteI really like your mom's polka dot photos! Has she ever had Starburst jellybeans? My mom highly recommends them! LOL!
