Christmas morning was also a lot of fun with my Utah grandparents.

The Spooky Old Tree Game

We developed a game that I simply love! It’s the “Spooky Old Tree” game. First we read The Spooky Old Tree by Stan and Jan Berenstain. In the book, the narrator asked if the three bears dared. So we asked ourselves if we dared!

Starting Early At-Home Preschool

On the first day of each school year, we walk up to Colonial Cafe for Ice Cream! This year it meant the start of my 2 year old preschool!

August means we still take lots of learning field trips. Here me and Paul are playing in a rail car at the Train Museum.

We practiced “writing” with Monster postcards and a mail box. This was such fun imagination play for me.

I couldn’t wait to start gymnastics. The first day I even cried when it was time to go.

I loved learning about ducks. I glued together a duck. We wrote a fact we’d learned on the lines. I say a baby duck is a duckling.

I love playing with the rubber duckies….both by counting them with these mats but also in the bathtub!

After we read a fun picture book about 10 rubber duckies, I sorted the items…which ones belonged in the ocean, and which ones belonged in the bathtub?

I work on puzzles with others helping!

More Play Doh! It’s always best when we make it an imagination play time. I am pretending to go apple picking.
