Having Fun Learning

Our Week Having Fun Learning Together!!!

Emily is 47 months old and Juliette is 18 months old

This week we had a baking play date, music class, a snow storm and art group.  With a lot of playing and having fun while learning at the same time.

Emily was very excited to add some more sight word cards to her sight word ring.

Juliette continues to follow Emily around and want to do the things that she does.  I also noticed that she enjoys playing with the kitchen set.  While Emily was sleeping she played cooking with me.  She pretended to pour and stir and eat all different things.  It was so much fun to play with her :)

Emily had fun baking Pumpkin Muffins at Sarah’s house.

The girls worked on file folder games while they were waiting for their muffins to cook and cool.

For this game they had to find the missing letter.

For this game Emily practiced matching.

For this game she practiced matching colors.

I walked into the living room and found Emily reading with her LeapFrog® Tag Reading System.  She LOVES that she can interact with the book and it is great when I am not able to be right with her.  You can check out my Amazon Store to see the other books we have (btw- I get a very small percentage of the purchase of anything from this store or the links in these posts).We took out our collection of Mr. Potoao Heads and Emily had fun making all different creations.

I gave Emily our magnetic letters and she decided she would make the whole alphabet.  

She also had fun using the letters to spell our names.

For our stART project we read Snail Trail and made an open ended collage inspired by Matisse.

We got another 12 inches of snow this week so we were able this Paint Snow.  This was a great open ended art activity as well as fine motor skills practice and color mixing too.  Oh yeah and A LOT of FUN!!!

 

Emily loves her Tangoes Jr. game.  She wanted me to take a picture with her completed level 2 card, which she did all by herself.

Juliette had fun playing with her friends while the girls baked when we were at Sarah’s house.

Juliette and Braeden playing with Duplo Building Blocks.

Juliette loves the Tangoes Jr. too!  She “helps” Emily take them out of the tray and put them on to the board.

Juliette loves this magneic fishing puzzle.

Juliette made cupcakes with this Melissa & Doug Bake and Decorate Cupcake Set.

Juliette also loves the Tag Reading System.  ABC Animal Orchestra is her favorite.  She is able to click on the pictures and listen to the different sounds all by herself.

Juliette joined in on our stART project this week.  She loved the glue!! During Art Group, Juliette had fun playing with her friends.
