Glove Bunny

Okay this is an old project.. but my hubby said it looked scary so I never did post about it. But when I saw it today, I thought who cares what he says! haha. Black was the only colour I had in gloves!


Anyways Aye loves it and that's all that matters right? :)

I used the glove animal tutorial from Martha Stewart to make this little guy.

File Folder Friday- Alphabet Fun

We did a matching game today.. upper and lower case letters, a free printable we got here. I didn't colour them in because I wanted her to focus on the shapes of the letters and not just match them based on colour. She was confused with a few letters but she did better than I thought she would. :)


We also did an alphabet puzzle and talked about how each picture started with each letter.


And I took out our letter A alphabet box.. and we also added an apple to it. We used the yarn apple tutorial from Make and Takes.

We had an airplane in there as well but it's MIA. I think I'm going to take these alphabet boxes out every friday.. I started this activity with her last summer but never continued it because I didn't think she really understood it at the time.

Je suis la neige

Though our progress with french has been slow.. Aye has caught on and has started counting a little in French. She also says bonjour and au revoir.

I took out this book from the library so that she could be exposed to more french. It's a really cute board book whose face stays in the same spot but the things happening around it change.

So we read about the different things that happen to snow! And did some follow up snow activities.

Songs with snow props (idea and printout from here)


The snowflakes are falling down
(sung to farmer in the dell)
The snowflakes are falling down
The snowflakes are falling down
Here there and everywhere
The snowflakes are falling down

Snowflakes
(sung to London Bridge)
Snowflakes are in the air
on the ground
all around
Snowflakes are lots of fun
so let's build a snowman!

Snowflake stamp art
This is a fun stamping activity! I was finally able to put my collection of plastic spools to use :), find the tutorial for this here. I really wanted to use blue paper with white paint like in the tutorial but we were out of coloured construction paper. Aye enjoyed it nonetheless :).


Fun with "Snow"
I got the idea for this activity from here. When there's not enough snow outside, why not play with some cotton balls "snow" inside!

She shoots.. she scores!

Well our handmade home is starting to fall apart BUT!! we found another use for it..A basketball net!! :)

So we took out our balls and tried to shoot them into the windows... a little gross motor fun!

February's Curriculum Calendar

This is a work in progress.. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to be doing on certain days yet.
I changed some things up a bit.. ie: I won't have My Faith Monday's on Monday anymore, I'll have them on Thursday since Aye has an Islamic class on that day and I'll just do a recap then. So on monday's I'll have Tea Time & Rhyme Thursday/stART instead. I've added a sunday random handmade fun day.. where I will most likely make a new toy for Aye. I'm excited :) I'm glad I put this together, it gives me a direction :)
