Paisley is 13 months
I don't know about you,but my little girl LOVES being outside! She loves trees, which she calls "ees!" She loves flowers,she loves everything about plants. So we learned about plants this week!
We started off our week by going out in the yard and picking a little bit of everything we could find. She thought this was a blast! We had a few different kinds of leaves, some grass,flowers...anything that was plant like.
Then we put potting soil in Paisleys wagon and "planted" our treasures. She had shovels to dig with and she had tons of fun playing with this.
I also bought a few pots from the dollar store and some Alyssum seeds. We planted these and tossed a few seeds outside. Then we taked about how we need to water the flowers every day.And after a few days we had these little sprouts!
We also spent alot of time reading this book. It's "Caterpillar Spring, Butterfly Summer!" It has wonderful, bright pictures and great little pop-ups. It was read quite often. :)
We also used our water colors again to paint this wooden flower. She carried around with her all day long. She was so proud when she finally got to show her daddy what she made.
The next day she found the paint again so I printed out a coloring page for her and we painted that too. She's my little artist <3
You're brave to play with dirt in the house! Great theme.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Thanks! I actually bought a ton of plastic tablecloths from the dollar store and I usually cut out part of those and put it under anything messy we do. It makes for a super cheap,easy clean up :)
