Letter C and muffin tins

This week in our preschool we are learning about the letter "C".

We read the book "Caillou Tidies His Toys"


It's a fun little, cute book and encourages my preschooler to clean up.  OH yeah...clean (starts with a little C).

As you see, we're getting some good use out of our cookie sheet for our projects. 
All I did was draw the letters on construction paper.  Then my daughter is using cotton balls to glue along the outline of the letters.

We could have used beans or glitter or any number of items to glue on it, but when I realized "cotton" started with "C"...bingo!


Also, I  got the idea of using  muffin trays for my kids' lunch from two of my favorite bloggers, Muffin Tin Mom and A  Mommy's Adventures.  Muffin Tin Mom has tons of different meals and tutorials.

This particular meal idea is purely- whatever was in our fridge at the moment.  So, we have ramen noodles, carrots and dip, and grapes.



I'm also working on a student binder for my preschooler so she can proud of all her work this year.  I'll share that with you once I've got it together.

That's it for now!

Hair days- play days

I spent the morning doing my youngest daughter's hair so we could go out and have fun at our local homeschool playgroup.

Here's what I used:

 After washing, I made big parts. Total time so far: about 30 minutes.

I applied a thick, white cream moisturizer and combed it through before parting.

Clipped into three sections

I parted small sections in the back to make cornrows
Lastly, I bead each braid.
Total time: about 1 hour.  Whew!


Now, she is free to play!



Our Homeschool Play Group:
Meet and make new friends- and learn Spanish too!

Climb, climb, climb.

Toss a ball.
Even the big kids have fun
