A week of activities… (from top, left to right)

  1. We drew out a grid of numbers to count through! Great visual number practice, as well as counting!
  2. We’re counting down to preschool (starts on Monday!) with a book countdown!
  3. It’s Playtime is all about games! Games you can make for your kids at home to play.
  4. I kept George occupied and busy with a tried and true resource: measuring cups and a pot.
  5. One of my favorite activities we’ve ever done is from last year at this time, a puzzle made with blocks!
  6. And last year we were also practicing scissors skills with a simple and fun straw cutting activity that Henry got a kick out of!

Why are my kids always dirty?

Why is it that my boys are always dirty. Seriously. The dirt patch out back seems to be constantly played in and the boys constantly look like this.

They’re boys. They like dirt.

Preschool starts on Monday. I hope it’ll start better this year than it did last year.

Any tips for the transition?
