Our learning today was once again quick and easy. I let Lillian pick the pace and don't push it. When she says she'd done and it isn't fun any more, we quit. Today we made a game with cheap, plastic, magnetic numbers and letters. I think they can even be bought at the dollar store lots of times. I would put one on the frig door and she would tell me what letter or number it was. I also used this as a quick assessment; as I took them off I had two piles. One stack was the ones she knew right away and the other stack we need to work on some more. This activity didn't take any planning at all on my part which I love! I had a plastic tupperware on the counter beside the frig with the letters already in it for when we had time for a quick lesson, so it worked out really well.
It is Tuesday, so we took Grandma to the hair dresser's again this morning. While we were there I got out Lillian's electronic writing tablet. We only use it at special times so it is fun to use when we get it out. We practiced guessing the letter and writing a couple of letters too. It is a good tool for a quick review and time filler.
When you have a two year old boy and a four year old tom-boy, every day is an adventure! Thank God for children, patience, staying home, and extended family! Here are some cheap, fun, easy, and simple learning activities you can do with your young child. Remember, just have FUN with it!
