Mother Goose Curriculum - August Day

The boys had fun with the activities today...especially Ditto.

he loves these new "twistable" colored pencils we have (they are so easy to travel with too)

 He made a hammer "color-hunter" by coloring then covering the head with foil...

 

he really enjoyed cutting the foil...

...and using the rubber cement.

We played a game where I named a color and he had to look around the room, find the color, and hammer it...

Found yellow!

found orange!

He LOVED this game!

Found white!

and then my little Mozart needed to play a few keys...

We then played a movement game where Ditto threw this block and we had to do whatever action it landed on...

And lastly, we played a game. This was Ditto's first time playing a board game and he did "pretty" well.  I had to talk quite a bit with Munchkin about patience and then I promised him that we would play later the "right way".  I just focused on matching with Ditto.

Nevertheless, we all had fun!

Mother Goose Curriculum - August Day 1

We started by making skyscrapers...

 The boys loved this more than I would have thought they would.  They worked on it for at least 30 minutes. 

he's saying cheese

 Ditto had a runny nose so he kept wiping paint on his face.

Ditto then became very focused on cleaning all the paint off of our table and did an impeccable job using baby wipes.

Finished skyscrapers

they are using them as part of their train track city

Next we read our book that came with the curriculum:

The boys loved this...they love any book.

After talking about what we would use to level dirt, the boys went on a hunt around the backyard for puzzle pieces (the boys waited patiently inside while I hurriedly went outside to hide the pieces).

Munchkin helped (a lot) Ditto put this together

They LOVED this (as I knew they would). We repeated it at least 3 times outside and then the boys played amongst themselves hiding pieces inside while I made dinner.
