Despite all the gloomy weather the last few days we have managed to keep ourselves busy. Thankfully Tuesday we got outside to get some outside work done before all the rain hit. The kids enjoyed playing and wrestling in the leaves. It is a shame I don't approve of wrestling, Drew is actually really good at that sport.
We are working on the letter "C" at our house. We'll at least Brodie is. Drew really has no interest in sitting down long enough to color or read a story. Brodie is at a perfect age to start learning all the letters and so far has done a great job. I have been proud of myself for writing down little lessons we can do each day to recognize what letter we are working on and so far things are going good. Here is a project we did for the letter C...
We actually baked cookies first and then we made these little cookies out of construction paper and glued real baby M&Ms on them. The boys loved it. Brodie split the candies between his mouth and the cookie.
Drew loved the cooking part better. He was especially facinated with the flour! He had a good time playing clean up in the water afterwards too.
We read "Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar" and made these cute cookies. The kids painted the circles, cut them out and then glued on the "chips". We also baked homemade cookies that day.
This was my favorite craft. We read "If you Give a Cat a Cupcake". I printed off these cats and then made my own construction paper cupcakes. The kids colored their cats and then glued the cupcakes together and got to add sprinkles on top.
We also did our counting cupcakes file folder game. Again with the rotation of the pictures!
