Our 8th book is
The Bear's Christmas by Stan and Jan Berenstain. I found this book at a book sale here and I remember reading the Berenstain bear books so I thought J might enjoy the antics as well. While I was in the states this summer, I checked out my mom's supply of little Christmas ornaments. For awhile, I have been wanting to make a Seek-n-Find game for J.
We used the rice that we dyed awhile back and I also used a large enough bottle so I could remove the items to change it. I took a picture of every small ornament so I could make a picture card for J to cross off when she found the item. I also laminated the card so we could reuse it.
J chose the items to place in the bottle and filled it up with rice.
Just make sure to leave some room for the rice to move around. J is searching for the items on her list.
She is checking them off. This toy passed through the family and, although there were a few items that J slipped in without my knowledge, it was well received. Some links for other homemade eye spy games -
Small For Big; and
Heart of the Matter.
We started with a craft of kids sledding. J colored the kids.
She cut them out herself. She has been working on her cutting skills.
J made a dog to ride on the back of the sled. She thought they were lonely. Our game of the day consisted of throwing snowballs into numbered IKEA buckets. Since we don't have real snow, I had made these snowballs before. I placed the buckets on the stairs to make it harder and to prevent Kaleb from grabbing our buckets mid-game.
Well, we made it to the 8th book....only how many more to go?
