I thought of some more movement activities for today because we all need movement this winter! Using blocks, stickers or even letters cut from newspapers/magazines, "hide" each letter around the house next to an object that starts with that. For example, hide the R underneath the rug, or the T next to the TV. Let your child try to find them all.
For the younger babes, go on a texture scavenger hunt. Your baby is probably loving reaching out and touching everything. And with the flu going around, you're probably trying to stop that at all costs. Well your house is (hopefully) less germy than public places, so let him/her explore there. Find all cold things, hot things, soft, hard, squishy, prickly, smooth, rough.... make sure you group alike textures together and repeat the adjective that describes them. Sounds silly, but your child is taking in more than you think!
Hope everyone is having a great week. The weekend is ALMOST HERE! Anyone doing anything fun with or without the kiddos?
Of course I have to leave you with a baby picture or this wouldn't be a complete post. Gentry only wanted to spell HER name and work with those letters this morning. But, she sat up for a few minutes on her own for the first time so I let it roll.
