Bob the Builder

A few weeks ago we had a Bob The Builder day. (Actually it turn out to be a week.) Ethan is a fan of Bob and the gang. We read some of his Bob The Builder books and watched a couple of his shows. Bob’s theme is “Reduce, Reuse, & Recycle.” So in honor of Bob the Builder week, we took some aluminum cans to the recycling center and came home with $12.75. I was shocked! It was a lot of money for a few cans, about 5 kitchen size trash bags. Ethan got excited when he saw the very large crane machine. Mom and I laughed when he said, “Look at all this junk!” We explained that they were going to take all the junk and recycle it by crushing it up and shipping it somewhere else to be melted and transformed into new metal items. Last Christmas Ethan received several of the little matchbox like toys of the machines like Dizzy and Lofty, characters of Bob the Builder. This Spring, I found 2 pre-school Bob The Builder learning books at the Dollar Tree, one of my favorite stores. So we did a couple of activities from the books and played with the toys and had lots of fun!
