Steven's mom gave us a wetlands and an underwater nature search book. they were steven's when he was young. They are like where's waldo of nature. on each page there are little pictures to look for with the magnifying glass. nicholas likes them a lot.
while nicholas was playing with them, Noah read a colors book that i made him for christmas.
Later on, we clipped clothespins around the outside of stockpot. (fine motor skills!)
we stood noah up inside the pot. he thought it was so funny. he sat down and started pulling the pins off and putting them in a cup.
this morning, we did some marble painting. Noah was very interested. haha he was so frustrated that he couldn't stick his hands in the paint. fingerpainting is for another day.
finished painting to be hung up when they are dry.
for a while i've been trying to explain patterns to nicholas. we tried the mancala board. we tried using worksheets. we tried all kinds of things. he just wasn't getting it. we read through the Bob books: Set 1 and that was all it took. he is finding patterns everywhere! He made this pattern with jumbling tower pieces.
I've been obsessed with My Montessori Journey for a few days. nicholas and i looked at it for like an hour this morning finding fun activity ideas. so i decided that we are going to start coffee table games. hopefully, a new one everyday. here's today's:
It's a tin of bead blocks and a jar with pipe cleaners that have small stopper beads attached to the end.
noah went right over and started playing. he couldn't thread the beads on the pipe cleaner but he liked playing with it anyway.
