We are slowly but surely making our way through the colors. I'm still not sure Maddie fully recognizes any of the colors, but she really enjoys doing tot school and she's still pretty young, so I know she'll catch on here before too long!
Fine Motor Skills - Clothespins on a Purple Cup
She could fairly easily pull the clothespins off, and she really enjoyed taking them off and putting them in the cup, then shaking the cup so they all fell out. :) She was never able to get the right "pinching" motion to be able to take them off this week.
Fine Motor Skills - Tearing Paper
Maddie really enjoyed this activity! Once I showed her how to tear the paper, this was all she wanted to do. The first couple days, I had to start the tear for her, but by Friday she could tear the paper independently.
Math/Science - Purple Magnets
Maddie has never really seen how magnets work before (I need to get some fridge ones she can play with!) and she was enthralled! She loved to try and stick them together and to the pan. I cut out some squares and circles in order to encourage some sorting, but Maddie was definitely not interested in that, only in how the magnets worked. :)
Art - Gluing Tissue Paper and Painting a Frame
We added to her "God Made Everything" book by gluing tissue paper to a purple flower. Maddie was very interested in the glue but did NOT like it on her hands, haha. She loved painting her picture frame, as you can see!
Also, totally off topic, but I pulled out my 50mm f1.8 lens again to take pictures this week. I forgot how much I love the ethereal quality of the pictures I get from it!!
