The Letter 'T'

Here Levi is doing a shape activity, I just traced popsicle sticks so he could match them up. We counted corners, and sides and compared the two shapes.
I also did a similar activity where I put colored dots on the end of the popsicle sticks, matching colors would make a shape!
Brushing teeth! We used an old toothbrush to brush 'teeth' to make them white and clean! We talked about WHY it is important to brush your teeth, and how to make sure to brush them all.

Outdoor time - we looked at all the different trees around our house, did some tree rubbings (which we later made into a little book), and pretended to be a tree!


Arts and crafts tree - popsicle stick for the trunk, strip of paper for the grass and crumpled tissue paper for leaves. Discussed the parts of a tree as well (he already knew them though)
Another activity Levi initiated was with his trains. He took my small ironing board and made a ramp to race them down. I found some poker chips that we used to mark where the trains landed, and compared different trains, and then different angles of the ramp. This kept him entertained for a looong time, but because he was using my ironing board I couldnt get much sewing done without it!

trees
toes

Feeding the Baby


I had moon sand in our sensory box. Levi decided to make his own meal, which he was trying to feed to me while I was sewing! I suggested he find someone else who was 'hungry' and he chose baby Jenny. He found the bumbo seat and used it as a booster (please don't do this with a real baby!), and even found a bib for her.
He made all sorts of different meals, from oranges to pasta to 'zert' (desert).
He got quite a few dishes and most of the floor covered in moon sand, but it kept him entertained independantly for a very long time!
