Letter A

So Blake is 2 now, did you know that,  I wasn't sure if I had mentioned that ;) Anyway I figured I should probably start some more preschool like activities at home, and since the husband and I are definitely not ready for our little man to go to preschool I quickly got to pinning (those of you who love pinterest know what I mean.) Initially I thought a letter a week would be good but a week goes by so quickly so I going to try to just go with the flow. With all his other activities I don't want to overwhelm him I mean you only have so long to play your days away, right? Well if you know my husband he plays many a day away hanging with his little buddy, but that is one of the perks of being the boss. 

 From a home school blog I discovered this dot painters and he loves them, he says "paint?"

 Excuse the crappy picture wrong setting...oops but such a happy face I had to share. And since it is Blakey there has to be some techy time, I found a Sesame Street preschool program and he hops in his old desk and asks for "street abc", he also has a ton of learning apps on his ipad and our iphones.

 He can't quite grasp why the macbook doesn't work like his ipad or iphone where he can just use his finger to control things.

 We adventured to make our play dough for the first time, apple pie spice play dough to go with our A theme.

 In his play dough discovery bucket I had play dough accessories and an apple cutter and letter cutters to spell apple, and twigs and leaves to make apples with and a card with the word apple from his A soup can from his alphabet soup game.

 Of course mostly he wanted to cut it and move on his way. But is smelled AMAZING!

 We also made applesauce muffins from a kid recipe blog, fun to make, not fun to eat. I think the combo of unsweetened applesauce, sprouted flour, and momma reducing the sugar measurement made for not so yummy muffins....but it's the process not the product right.....

Speaking of product though, here are all the products of his A work. That A on the board we used to line up pompoms with magnets attached and the tree I made and laminated to go with a little poem which he was not interested in but loved just putting the apples on the tree or in mouth for that matter.
