These past two weeks have flown by. We have been keeping busy with an Eric Carle theme and our usual activities.
We've been able to enjoy some much needed outside time due to the unusual wet and cool summer.
Audrey has graduated from her bouncy seat to her jumper activity center.
Katie's been having fun learning about bugs with Eric Carle. This is a game/activity I put together for "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". I used an old oatmeal container to make the caterpillar and milk caps for illustrations of all the food he eats. Katie can practice counting, sequencing and small motor skills as she "feeds" the caterpillar. I try to put out the next day's activities after she goes to bed so she wakes up to what she calls a surprise and so she'll get excited about the activity.
We made butterflies using coffee filters, pom poms and popsicle sticks.
I made Katie some diapers out of felt complete with a wipe container, wipes and felt pee and poo.
It was a success!
Knox came over and spent the day while his mom ran some errands.
Katie is getting so excited about mail and loves receiving letters. This week her and Audrey got a box from Grandmother with a couple of outfits and some stuffed chickens. Thanks Grandmother!
Stickers are always a favorite so for "The Grouchy Ladybug" Katie had fun with ladybug stickers.
We made a lightning bug out of a toilet paper roll for "The Very Lonely Firefly". Katie flew it around the backyard and all over the house.
I made a little taggie for Audrey to gnaw on. It too, was a success!
Stringing beads on one of the many rainy days we've had.
Katie also created a caterpillar by gluing circles.
As usual we went to storytime and Katie had lots of fun playing with her friends.
Playing doctor with Audrey, checking her nose and ears.
We pulled the sensory tub out for some fun with beans.
Also on the project list was a ladybug.
We're working on ordering. This week we practiced ordering caterpillars by size.
Can't wait for next week when we start a farm theme. I've got some great sensory items planned for our sweet little girl. I can't wait for Audrey to be able to join in on the fun, won't be long now!
