Sophia's ladybug heart craft

We are celebrating valentine's day this week by making heart shaped animals. Sophia is gluing her ladybug together.





She is placing the eyes on the ladybug.




Look it is all done.



Hugging her ladybug.


We are focusing on a color a day. Today's color was you guessed it Red!  I chose red since the craft I had planned for today was red. Not only did we make this ladybug, we also had fun gathering things around the house that were red. I gave Sophia a basket and told her to walk around the family room and her room and find everything she could find that was red. She found her stuffed heart that Grandpa gave her last year, Elmo, a red stuffed crab toy, her ladybug craft shown above, a red bucket, and of of course my red cell phone.  Lucky for me, I saw here put that one in the basket so it wasn't lost for long.

April 28, 2009 Wishing for the Sunshine

Today Sophia is trying to keep busy inside. I know she was wishing for the sun when she put on her shades. We had two activities to do today. The first one was making indoor colored bubbles in a soda bottle. Sophia loves to blow bubbles outside but since it is dreary out today, we tried a new activity. She loves shaking up the soda bottle and making indoor bubbles.

We also learned a few songs last week which she now loves. We have been practicing the "Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee" song and learned how to play "Ring around the Rosie". She loves to see mommy fall down on the ground. I guess it is pretty silly to see an adult fall on the floor and roll around like a kid. She sings along as best she can which is adorable. I need to record this when I get a chance because it is so cute. She even does the hand motions to the "Baby Bumblebee" song and says, "Baby Bumbobee...." We also sing the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and she does all the hand motions to that song.

We are still working on the "Hokey Pokey" but haven't mastered that one yet. I think that is going to take some time.

Today's other activity is a physical activity emphasizing gross motor skills development called dancing with scarves. We have yet to do that but I think it is going to be a hit with her.
