Heart animals

Well as soon as Jan. 14th rolled around, I was getting ready to put up the Valentines day stuff.  I hung up the melted crayon hearts I made a few years back, and the construction hearts I made.  But I wanted something else this year.  So I pulled out some ideas from Themailbox.com.  And then Muffin Tin Mom had a link to the love birds.  Found here:  Moments of Mommyhood.  This was a great way to teach the kids about Heart shapes and how cut in half they are the exact same, but a different shape.  The kids LOVED doing these, and are proud to show them off on the walls.  Plus it adds fun color to the rooms.

Even more letters

Once again, these all come from the Totally Tot website.  As you can see, the kids sometimes have their own take on how these will look, like the letter f for example.  Oh well, they are just expressing their creativity, right?

e is for egg

f is for fish

g is for goose

h is for horse

Learning Our Letters

I have started to do a Homeschool Preschool since I can't afford to send the kids to one.  I have found so many amazing websites.  The one that I totally stole these from is Totally Tots.  This site is an amazing resource to have if you are trying to teach little ones.  We started to just do the Capital letters, but are now working to catch up with the lowercase as well.  When we are all done with our letters, I am going to put them in plastic sleeves and then into binders.  That way each kid has made their very own alphabet book, that they can look through when ever they like.  And just what am I going to do with the ones I made?  Well Christmas is coming and I have a new little niece.  You put the two together!
