Owen & Eli: 30 Months

We had some fun this week despite the fact that I was playing the role of a single parent while hubs was in Vegas for a work conference and the printer was out of ink so I couldn't print off any online materials. We made it work though! The end goal (identification of Capital I and Lowercase i) was achieved, so everything else was just for fun!

I saw this idea on this blog, but the original idea is from here. Make an igloo out of baby marshmallows! It was supposed to just be with white ones, but I didn't have any and I think the colored ones are more tasty : ) Looking back, I probably should have talked more about what an igloo actually is - but they didn't seem to care and were on board with making the project.

I froze alphabet letters in a tupperware container for them to break out too. I only put in A through I, the letters we've done so far, capital and lowercase. They loved this activity and kept asking me for more ice throughout the week. They used warm water and their tool bench tools mostly, and we able to find and match all the letters once they were free! Success!

We made inchworms out of toilet paper rolls too. I found the idea here and they really loved it! This is one of the first crafts that they were able to do most of themselves - they painted, added glue, added the eyes and strung through the antennae. All I had to do was cut the rings and staple them together. They turned out pretty cute too!

An of course, the Letter Ii wouldn't be complete without homemade ice cream!! We made chocolate and have been enjoying it every day since : )

On to the Letter Jj!
