February

They think they are playing...We know they are working those muscles that will help them hold a pencil and write later.  Dabbing (hand-eye coordination). Play dough (muscle strength). Pinching with the tweezers (pencil grasp). Stamping (hand-eye coordination and training their eye to work from left to write to get ready for reading). Matching the number dots to the number word on the clothes pin (pinching muscle strength aka pencil grasp and learning our number words).

A very BRIGHT place to sort the colored hearts! Look at the concentration on that little face!

"OOOOH! The light shines right through them!"

Who needs a ton of Educational toys? A light box, plastic cups, plastic egg carton and heart jewels! Hours of Fun and Learning! It's even cooler in a dark room!
A little side note:
~****<3<3Love to our wounded duckling at home with a broken leg!XOXOXOXO! We are thinking of you and can't wait to see you! Prayers and healing thoughts sent your way Sweetie! <3<3****~

Love is in the air!

Dot, dot, dot, look a heart! And play dough hearts and sorting hearts!

The light makes the heart shaped jewels soooo pretty!

Sort, separate and compare!

Pink~Purple~Red OOOOH Pretty! 
Love is in the air every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
I don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes.
