CoRnUcOpIa

To get into the Thanksgiving Spirit, I had my preschooler make a Cornucopia.
It was just a simple project. Fortunately, someone sent us Thanksgiving card with one on the front of it, so she could see what it was.
 I started off by making a cone with brown construction paper and taping it together. We wrinkled up the end a little to make a horn shape. I cut the opening a little bit wider as well. Carmendee used marker to make strips on the horn.
My original thought was to tape a few food items onto the front inside of the cornucopia, but going through the magazine to cut out foods....she wanted to cut everything.
So, once she cut all her favorite things out.....we just laid them inside.
Plus, she keeps taking them out to show everyone what she likes.
 
She had a great time with this project.
One of her favorite things to do is CUT!

Letter Yy Week.

Carmendee and I are pretty much done with all the letters of the alphabet.
I just need to post our Letter Xx week that we did, then onto doing simple words which I will be posting next. My preschooler is growing up.
This week she made a Yellow Collage.
Letter Yy on Yellow Paper with pieces of YARN glued onto it.
 She painted YOLK onto an egg. 
 I try to keep printables at all times in folders for her to do. She mostly does them when her brother and sisters do their homework. She tells me to get her "homework."
I found these printables online...
 
Yay! For Letter Yy Week...!

Friday Book Project {Yoko}

For Letter Yy week, we read the book Yoko by Rosemary Wells. This book is a favorite of mine. It can be used to teach so many lessons. I decided to take my daughter to the park and share our lunch together like at the end of the book when Yoko and Timothy push their desks together to share their lunches.
 So we did....we shared....and she ate my sushi and left her sandwich...!
 After we read the book again and ate.....we got to play...!
 
Friday Book Project this week was a success....!
