COLORING ROCKS WITH CHALK

On an autumn day, the LO and I would have been painting leaves.  Not today because its winter and there's not a lot of leaves laying around.  So instead, we colored rocks!  

Here she is gathering her rocks (with the Sunshine all covered with chalk!):

And off she goes to color them: 

I wish there were more days like this.

DIY: THANKSGIVING BOOK

This Thanksgiving, I am introducing a new tradition to the LO.  My personal belief is that children remember routine and structure and I want to start a Thanksgiving book that my girls will eventually do every year with the family.  I want this book to teach the LO and her sister about gratitude and being thankful for God's blessings.  

TISSUE ROLL CUTTING

Is this not the cutest idea ever? I saw this on pinterest and I just had to do it.  The LO has been working on using scissors for a while now and she is learning how to close and open. 

BUBBLE WRAP PAINTING

You know those bubble wrap that comes in your packages?? You can use them for arts and crafts!!
