A quick recap of a few of the activities we played around with this month…
Decals. Like stickers, but not. They don’t quite fool you. But you have played around with them a few times. The downfall is that you have to pick the right side to stick on the window and you only get it right about 50% of the time. Go figure. You haven’t quite figured out how to solve the dilemma by flipping them over, so you tend to get frustrated and move on to other activities.
Saw this little craft/activity on Pinterest… a homemade snow globe. The bottle I used (the only one I had at home at the time that would work) is a little big for you. Filled with water it’s quite heavy. I put objects of varying weights in it – glitter, foil stars, pom poms and marbles. Every now and then you pick it up and look at it. Honestly, this would be a cool activity for an older child exploring the concept of sinking, floating, weight, water density. You think it’s pretty though and you had fun helping me stick all the pom poms in the bottle. This is such an easy activity to put together in a million different ways. We’ll probably do some more varieties sometime.
This activity I actually came up with on my own. I’m sure it’s been done before, but I had my own streak of inspiration while browsing the dollar store aisles a couple of months ago and it’s been a big hit. The great thing about this activity is all the different things it teaches you. And you like it too. We sort the rings by colors, we link them together and take them apart, we make jewelry out of them and you parade around in it. Now, we’re starting to work on patterns – green, white, green, white. And you think it’s hilarious to chain your feet together and walk around – my little ghost of Christmas past.
Muah! Love you baby. It’s been such a busy, busy month with family and business. It’s hard to keep us with all your cuteness. But this is so important to me, remembering what you’re like. I cherish all these memories so much!
