One to one correspondence. Early counting. We have been using these little Counting Leaves in our Sensory Kits since September but had some colored gemstones out today for another project and decided to do some one-to-one correspondence. I love the Fall colors and how easy it was to mesh balance the flat marbles on top […]

When we are done with our phonics box, we look at the letter-objects and make a collage of the letter. We draw some of objects we see, add stickers of same sounding images, letter stickers, glue letters, scratch art letters, etc. Buga really enjoys this tangible. I have been putting them in an Alphabet book […]

I am so excited to introduce this little phonics box. It is a work in progress. It’s not so easy to find teeny things to fit in the drawers for each of the letters, but we started our collection. And little people like collections. Buga is excited to search the drawers for little miniatures to […]

We have been making Play Dough seasonally, which seems to work out well. We choose a different color and scent depending on what we are exploring for the season. This Summer we chose to make Yellow Play Dough with Gold Glitter and Coconut Extract (it smells like suntan lotion and the beach!) I rotate out […]

We did several projects to include on our Beach Mural this summer. One of them was a simple color-me shell page. We both colored some of the shells to put up at the bottom of the ocean floor. Buga doesn’t always enjoy coloring – it’s not that she can’t do it, because she can – […]

Oh Christmas Tree!! Oh Christmas Tree!! How Felt-y Are Your Branches! I recently had the idea for Buga’s room – a Christmas Tree! I used to decorate my room growing up for all the holidays, Christmas in particular and I thought it would be fun for Buga to have her own little place to decorate […]

Buga is only 3 (well, 3 and a half)…but she has always shown an interest in numbers. She can count pretty well, and can identify all one-digit numbers. Lately she has been reading the clock…but saying each digit instead of the bigger numbers. So she will tell me: “It’s 1. 1. 6.” Instead of one […]

peanut butter sandwich, pepperoni, almond slivers, cheese stick, carrot sticks, green grapes I have always loved the ideas of bentos. For adults. For kids. For toddlers. There is just something about cute little colorful foods combined together in a thoughtful way that makes my heart happy. Even though Buga doesn’t eat lunch at school or […]

Buga has always been super into numbers – counting – adding – relating to numerals. I wanted to create something wooden for her to play with that could be around for a while so I created the Count With Me Play Set. She likes lining up the number planks in number order. She also likes […]
