Every year at Thanksgiving, I will have the LO ask everyone to think about what they are thankful for and for them to write it on the book. I started the book with three pages: </span><br />

All you need is a tissue roll, a sharpie and scissors. Cut 2-3 inch strips on one side and draw a face (think grass head!): </div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I told the LO we were going to give our friend a haircut and she loved it! This concept is great but it was quite difficult to cut through cardboard for someone just beginning to learn how to cut. That being said, I will probably use paper next time instead of a cardboard tissue roll. </span><br />

I love playing sensory boxes with the LO. It's simple to make, super engaging and provides a number of learning opportunities. For this sensory box, I have uncooked elbow pasta, but you can use anything... sand, salt, pompoms, etc. Whatever you like really. </div>

Sensory boxes are great for teaching children rules. You can help your child understand that their actions have consequences. One simple rule I have with the sensory box is that the contents stays inside. Did this happen? Of course not! The LO would throw the pasta out of the box and look at me with a smirk on her face waiting for my reaction. And EVERY time this happened, I calmly told her "sensory box is finish, pasta stays inside". Now at 2.5 months, the LO picks up the pasta when they fall out and she never purposely throw the pasta. But of course, it took some time for her to understand this rule. </div>

Another thing I love about sensory boxes is that they give you the opportunity to teach cognitive concepts. You can teach your child the name of the animals and the sounds they make. You can talk about colors and body parts. You can count. The possibilities are limitless.You can use other things like people, toy cars, etc. Once the child is older, you can use letters and numbers. </div>

Valentines is around the corner! Here is a very easy way to make teacher cards using things you probably already have -- card stock, pen and scissors.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Start with a card stock and measure it based on how big you want your card to be and cut it: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM9jmnWhGJOtLP584VYsA-DQtfaOqxHy0IHsQJS4zVyYfRXhlGiuFEwuCAaubF1tfd8ONmu8spJGrLQeTc0_2gonY-WBGNHoy3NdevDwGvtSs1gdnIFHqPeA6Z6TS0b5YZAOxtFmvHvvY/s1600/Kisses2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM9jmnWhGJOtLP584VYsA-DQtfaOqxHy0IHsQJS4zVyYfRXhlGiuFEwuCAaubF1tfd8ONmu8spJGrLQeTc0_2gonY-WBGNHoy3NdevDwGvtSs1gdnIFHqPeA6Z6TS0b5YZAOxtFmvHvvY/s640/Kisses2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
For this card, I used Almond Roca and I made 2 slits to hold the chocolate in place. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjrUlLN8DLpJGyYvbCykGKS7trbjjl3YpLA4CzYI3Zi0Oostgy8io7Xe0im5akQqNPEJ-2xqe0vMWDsQzXOdSuqJYw_4qK22mHSI5p-qYXT-wDFFpYa3Omm2vKhb2gRroG0IRrPscSEPI/s1600/Kisses4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjrUlLN8DLpJGyYvbCykGKS7trbjjl3YpLA4CzYI3Zi0Oostgy8io7Xe0im5akQqNPEJ-2xqe0vMWDsQzXOdSuqJYw_4qK22mHSI5p-qYXT-wDFFpYa3Omm2vKhb2gRroG0IRrPscSEPI/s640/Kisses4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, I wrote on my cards: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Can I just say that washi tape is the next best thing to post-its notes? If you ever run out of wrapping paper, you can use washi tape on craft paper (or any plain paper) with a little imagination! </div>

This a very simple and inexpensive class cooking activity for young children. I cannot afford to buy each of my kids a gingerbread house kit so I had to be creative on this one. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
These are all you need: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
• Graham Crackers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
• White Icing </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
• Sprinkles</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
• Cheerios</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
• Gummy Bear</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
• Paper Plate</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
• Craft Stick </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This activity is pretty much self explanatory. The only difficult part is cutting the graham crackers in half to make the triangles. I wanted perfect triangles but for some reason I could not do it, the edge always cracked. After 6 cracked triangles, my TA finally convinced me that it was fine not to have a perfect triangle as long as it looks like a triangle. Oh well, I guess I have to admit defeat! Nevertheless, the kids had a blast doing this activity. I squirted icing on their graham cracker and they got to spread the icing with a stick and after they got to decorate it with sprinkles, cheerios and a gummy bear. The decorations are really up to you, I had to add the cheerios the last minute as the door to make it look like a house. This activity cost $5 for all my kids and they all got to bring home their gingerbread houses to show off to their mommies and daddies. </div>

<br />
The LO has a new spot! She has her own little nook tucked in our bedroom. It has a mattress on the floor, "Baba" the bear and some books. To complete the space, I decorated the wall behind it with houses using washi tape. Yes! washi tape!<br />
<div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
This is what I started with:<br />
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikOSgWHzJlxhcTwHCtRxnxGPz8PZut3cvm1OhErKUm14E2YkiBskSth9NHjggqUWNrgUYXGCCza2rdB28t5oV-viGGoCaX4Cf5idrAFSjxt7meVhFuI9F2ZStOgLaZO3_nfBMTFRMlj5s/s640/blogger-image--700841281.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikOSgWHzJlxhcTwHCtRxnxGPz8PZut3cvm1OhErKUm14E2YkiBskSth9NHjggqUWNrgUYXGCCza2rdB28t5oV-viGGoCaX4Cf5idrAFSjxt7meVhFuI9F2ZStOgLaZO3_nfBMTFRMlj5s/s640/blogger-image--700841281.jpg" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
I knew I was going to move the nook eventually so I figured I needed something that can be taken off if the need arises. I used a 1" washi tape for this. I did not do any measuring and basically just "eye balled" it. You can never go wrong with a house, how hard could it really be? As you can see, my edges are not even straight. <br />

Just for fun, I decided to make some pretend food for the LO's kitchen. This is such an easy DIY project! I had some individually packed cereal boxes and I figured it could go in the play kitchen. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The cereal boxes are not sturdy to begin with, so I put a cardboard inside it. Knowing the LO, this would been torn and tattered in 5 minutes. I hot glued the top and viola! Instant cereal boxes that goes with her Ikea kitchen. <br />

My husband got the LO her very first guitar and she loves it. She carries it around the house and pretends to be like daddy. But it is driving me crazy as to where to put it. And so, I made a guitar cardboard stand. Yes, crazy. But, I did. <br />

It's pretty amazing what you can do with cardboard. I don't have a pattern for this, I just played it by the ear. It came out better than I expected. Not as sturdy as I want it to be but it does the job. <br />

I'm teaching the LO to be gentle with placing the guitar on it because at this this time, she's shoving the guitar on it. Lol. I will probably hot glue all the sides just to make sure.<br />

This is a super late post... Since school is out, I am now able to finally finish this post! For summer, I made an ice cream shop for pretend play. </div>

The kids had so much fun playing this. I also had fun making it. I made a banner, a price list and a toppings menu. I made use of pompoms for the cherries and chocolate chips; buttons for sprinklers and counting bears for gummy bears. For the ice cream, I used bigger pompoms -- brown for chocolate, light brown for mocha and pink for strawberry. I also made use of cotton balls to go into the cups for the kids to put their favorite topping on. The cones are made of brown paper. </div>

The LO can now enjoy playing with Legos and I am so excited. I love Legos, I think they're one of the best toys ever made. At this time, she can't build yet. She is at the pretend play stage and the model that she has allows her to play with farm animals. I am teaching her to feed the animals, put the animals to sleep and open or close the barn doors. I am also teaching her turn taking like "My turn", "your turn" and "we're waiting". <br />
<div>

<div>
I use Legos to teach academic, language, fine motor and social-emotional skill acquisition in my classroom. Legos are best known for fine motor skill development and harnessing creativity. Children learn to manipulate small pieces of blocks using their tiny fingers. They build structures based on their imagination -- a house, a car or a giraffe. But Legos go far beyond developing these skills. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">It can be used to teach colors, compare attributes and sort by category. Legos are good social-emotional tools for children. Children learn to ask for a piece that they want or exchange a piece that need. With adult help, it facilitates the use of language both receptively and expressively. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The only downside of Legos I think is that they can be quite expensive. But if you think about it, $50 is much cheaper than the cost of an Ipad. I wish parents will be more choosy when buying their children toys. Though technology has greatly improved our way of life, it should not equate to how children play. Children should be allowed to play with toys that helps them build and think. <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Hands down Lego wins in this regard. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I grew up playing with Legos. I built houses, buildings and small villages. I learned to follow directions based on visual instruction (<i>maybe that's how I got my love for assembling Ikea furnitures).</i> Legos challenged my imagination to make what I can think of. I spent hours playing with Lego. Up to this day, I play Legos with my students when I can. You can never be too old for Legos! I am looking forward to playing it with the LO. Hopefully, she likes it as much as I still do.</div>

It's community helpers month. I set-up the kitchen area as a post office pretend play for the kids. I made a post office sign and a price list. I wrapped a box with blue construction paper to make the the mail box. I made some letters out of carton boxes and even got small boxes from the post offices. I put some papers and pens to encourage the children to write letters to their friends. <br />
