I got out the lacing beads for K early in the week. He won’t lace for long but at least he will attempt it now! This day we mostly talked about the colors and shapes on the beads! It was a VERY musical week around our house, and I think it will be from now on. I used to teach a toddler music class and I am finding that K is really enjoying the songs and activities I do with him that I remember from that! We have several musical instruments, all kept in a big box, both boys love them.
He enjoyed our wooden spelling boards, I really like these since they are exposing the lower case letters. He knows most of his upper case but not many lowercase, so I really like getting these out.
Trains
were a big hit this week also. K is finally learning the fact that they won’t hook on both ends, it frustrated him at first but then he discovered turning them around to make them hook. He also practiced being gentle with the big track brother made for them, doing much better than normal!









Animalz came out this week too, I loved how he made the gorilla beat it’s chest and “oooh, oooh…” 🙂 I got this game, Pegs in the Park
at the Homeschool Conference awhile back, to hang onto for K until he was ready. We tried it out a bit, he’s not ready to actually play but had fun playing on his own!!!
One last music day…told ya we did it a lot! Here he’s *singing* into our dollar store microphone to the Laurie Berkner DVD.
Bells on the ankles while marching– also a big hit!
