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!! 

DIY TREAT FOR PARENTS

Congratulations to all the parents whose child graduated this year!! You did It!  Obviously, this is a LONG OVERDUE post... but better late than never! 

PRETEND FIREHOUSE STATION

A firehouse station for choice time??!  Ooh the kids love love it!!  June is our community helpers month and I try to turn our pretend play centers to something really fun.  

SENSORY BOXES AS A TEACHING TOOL

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.
