Toddler Activities

As planned, we started our activities from the Abeka Nursery Arts and Crafts book this past week.  The first activity was coloring the crayon red.  Abeka recommends showing your child to color in a circular motion.  Her big brother was really into helping her.

On Friday, we did the Creation Mobile Craft.  I cut out the pieces ahead of time and put them in a baggie.  As I would take them out of the baggie, I would say, "God made the sun, the birds, the fish, and so on."  I would hand her the cut out and put glue on the Earth where the piece went.  After I did the first one with her, she caught on right away.   She really liked doing this activity and I really enjoyed doing this with her.  Her oldest big brother was with us when we did this activity and he was really into being right by her side too. 
I loved seeing how her big brothers wanted to help her out this week and be a part of her arts and crafts activities.  This, among many others, is one of the joys of home-schooling.  ​

We started out each morning this week listening to Wee Sing Bible Songs.  I do have the CD version but I was so happy to find that it is also on Amazon music for free so we can listen to it anytime.  When I was a little girl my grandparents gave me this on cassette.  I would carry around my Fisher Price tape player and sing these songs into it's microphone.   I have always loved Wee Sing Bible Songs.  This is one of those items that I purchase in bulk and keep on hand just so that I always have a great gift to give to children for Christmas or for their birthday or just because.  This has been a favorite at our house and these are the types of song lyrics and stories I want to store in the heart of my children.

And she still plays with and absolutely LOVES putting on everybody's shoes!
