We worked ON Valentine’s Day to create this cute little something to give to Daddy as a present. If we had made it any sooner, it wouldn’t have been a Valentine’s surprise, because Buga can’t keep a secret like that! We started the interview last week for this week’s project and I just love how […]

This is such a simple task….especially for a 3 year old! But I love the idea of hearing her count the hearts as the plunk into the tub. I also like watching her as she unscrews the lid to dump them all out and start over again. This would be a great fine motor skill […]

This was one of our transferring activities for the Heart Theme. We had a playdate today and all the girls loved scooping the hearts and putting them into the heart shaped ice cube spots. It’s a simple way to practice fine motor skills, coordination, and patience. Scoop up the heart, bring it to the tray, […]

Printable Valentine’s Day Activity I made this because Buga has been very interested in cutting straight lines, sorting them, and gluing them down, so I wanted to make one related to our Love Unit. I thought she would like the idea of chocolates (again!) and made it available for other little learners to use and […]

These are the books we have on our rotating bookshelf for Valentine’s Day. They are all about love, Valentine’s Day, and showing we care. I love having a bookshelf that rotates books based on what we are learning…it’s a great way to carry our themes throughout the day. We also do activities based on the […]

More Sensory Bin Excitement! Yes, it’s true, we are putting all the “Valentine’s Day” things out. Our house is decorated, our centers are accessible, and Buga is having a wonderful time enjoy the love. I put out this new Sensory Bin and she loves it. It’s all about hearts – and containers / compartments / […]

Part II. I finished the Candy Sorting Activity Center for Buga and she has been enjoying it VERY much. As much as I hate to admit it, if you want her to learn something….turn into into something sweet – literally! She doesn’t get candy, chocolate, cake, cookies very often so she is fascinated with them. […]

I started making “Candy Chocolates” (pretend) for a Valentine’s Day Learning Game for Buga. It is my plan to use these chocolates in a candy box…with the little wrappers…for her to count, sort, and pretend with. She is going to use tongs to pick them up and put them in the box. Each box contains […]

I have had this project in queue for quite some time now. Maybe I am a little obsessive compulsive, but I hate having so many broken crayon nubs around. And don’t get me started on all those crayons that Layla has decided to peel the paper away from – these poor, nameless crayons! Needless to […]
