Once we get up into the teen numbers, it can be easy for the kids to lose interest. They are always so energetic about counting from 1-10. I find that it helps to lay items down and count them with the kids when we get into the larger numbers. They have something to see, touch and counting becomes a little bit easier for them. We counted out 19 blocks, and attempted to make a tower. They kept falling after 14! That was the best part, of course.
Off we went to the table to color our 19's.
I love when they use lots of colors, but I don't suggest that they do it any certain way.
We used the paint dotters to count out 19 dots.
It is hard to stop-- "We only get to dot 19 dots?" I suppose I should give them paper and let them dot until their hearts are content next time. We'll go crazy.
The kids like to see their art being displayed. I see them pause and take it all in, quite often! They are proud of their creations. :)
Need something to do? Ethan told me this morning that he and a friend spent some time trying to drop tp tubes in a certain way to get them to stand up on edge. He said that you must hold it sideways for it to work. It usually bounces, does a flip, and will sometimes land... on it's edge. Who knew?
We did it! This would keep preschoolers busy. Hey- it would keep me busy too.
This amazing thing happened at the bus stop. Our youngest son seems to be a bit of a contortionist. Ouch!!
Adam bought this little fishing boat. We had a very similar one but it was so heavy. This one is much lighter and fits in our van for easy transporting. I'm telling you-- I LOVE my mini van. It is so useful! I was glad to be able to sit in a chair to fish again because my bad knee can't take a raft for very long.
Our catch last night. Dinner tonight! I thank God for this.
♥♥♥Happy Wednesday that I keep thinking is Thursday..♥♥♥
