I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but I feel like most of this organization/Montessori type stuff is more for me. I know she could care less about cute little themes among other things. However, she doesn't seem to cause as much trouble and stays focused on one thing for longer when "everything is in it's place". So, there's that. :)
As usual, I get tons of ideas for the crafts I make for Myka on Pinterest. That's where the sensory tree cards came from below. (For once, not that it's a competition, but...I think mine turned out better than the original pin. It's supposed to be a sensory book, but a hole punch is just about the only crafting supply I DON'T have.)
She's trying to hand one of the magnets to me. You know, from across the room and all because I have Go-Go Gadget Arms. ;)
I think I may hang up the magnet/chalk/dry erase board (how cool is that?!) above the alphabet and numbers at some point. Speaking of the letters and numbers, all of the cute little winter printables came from the 1+1+1=1 blog, which you can check out HERE and it will take you directly to the page I got them from. I might also print out some of the Polar Lands items from the 2 Teaching Mommies page HERE. (I may have a problem. lol)
Here is a closer look at the snowman alphabet and penguin numbers. There were extra snowmen that you can do whatever you want with, so I decided to use them for colors/matching. The snowmen and snowflakes are living in the green tray on the bottom left at the moment.
What a wonderful play place! And about that last sentence - they really are learning even when they don't seem to be paying attention! My daughter is 4 and sometimes when I read her a book she seems to paying attention to anything but the pages. Then later I'll hear her reading the same book to the dog - she was listening all along! Have a wonderful New Year!
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny! Thank you. Happy New Year to you!
DeleteI absolutely love the idea of a learning corner or learning center for a kid. Somewhere they an go and always find something good to do. When my kiddo was little we had those red, yellow and blue cardboard brick blocks. We loved them!
ReplyDeleteWe love those blocks too! Our daughter enjoys knocking them down mostly right now. lol I think my husband and I are having more fun with them than we should be. :)
DeleteGive yourself time for patience. I think we all need to have a little more patience with each other. Your learning corner is a great idea. Wishing you the best of luck and a happy healthy New Years for you and your child.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true! Thanks, Marla. Happy New Year!
DeleteI love your corner! I need to organize my toy area for the kids as well. Thanks for linking up to Pintastic Pinteresting Party.
