A and E's Activities


Since we won't be starting school for about another month I thought I might show you some things we like to do in our spare time. I have found many of these activities by searching for "busy bags" on the web. A really likes doing most of these and frequently asks to do them throughout the day.
 I used paper, pipe cleaners and some beads to make these. A is trying to decide where her next bead needs to go.
 
A threading beads onto pipe cleaners. They have been great for fine motor skills and counting practice.
 
 I received these small circles from a family member. A decided what shapes and colors we should put on each circle. When we were finished we had a game for memory. Here she is realizing she doesn't have a match.
One hot day I took some rubber bugs and froze them in a container. We took them outside and had fun working them out of the ice while A and E splashed in our little wadding pool. Here E is showing off the bug she has been working on.
