Happy Thanksgiving week! We're busy packing, demo-ing, moving, and unpacking this week, so I've got some lovely little pre-fab posts up my sleeve. Hugs, kisses, be back soon!
Since it's gotten colder, we've been spending less time outside and more time inside... watching TV.
I love me some Spongebob, but not alllll the time.
{besides, his laugh really is horrible.}
SO we've started doing learning time, sort of a mini home-preschool.
The girls love it and pester me every morning until it's finally time for learning time.
Every day I have a little theme picked out, usually based on a library book.
Last week we talked about crayons and colors, and it was fun.
{can you imagine doing that job?}
Historically I have not been a big crafts-with-kids person, but learning time is changing that.
There are zillions of ideas online. I like
this site.
The night before, I dyed some macaroni (mix 2 teaspoons rubbing alcohol with 6-8ish drops food coloring and mix with 2-3 handfuls uncooked macaroni in a ziploc bag; rinse out the bag, make another color, and let it all air dry on plastic wrap or wax paper) for a rainbow project.
I printed
this coloring page at 120%, then the girls painted it with watered-down glue and stuck on the macaroni {I brought out one color at a time to avoid mass chaos}. I sort of wish I would have just divided a piece of cardstock into 6 equal rectangles; the skinny curves were hard for ms. M to navigate.
Success!
This week we're doing Thanksgiving stuff. So excited.
