Welcome to Coconut Tree Day on Alphabet Island! Since we live in the middle of the forest and no where near the beach, Sweet Pea haslearned tons of new things this month that she never experiences.  Today it was Coconut Trees.She is *nuts* (I know I'm corny) about these daily topic posters.I love how they are actual photographs of the real image.  After studying it, Sweet Pea...

On Waterfall day I had one of my junior high jams going through my head all day...you know the one by TLC.  Maybe I'll let Sweet Pea hear it... she'll probably tell me it's too loud and to turn her Mother Goose Time Island Music onto track 7...the ABC Song. My how my life has changed.She was so excited about our new topic poster.  She loves to put it in the sheet protector and...

It's almost been a year since we started Mother Goose Time, and I can't believe my girl is almost 3! MGT supplies us with all sorts of fun; all I have to do is open a bag and set it up.  I am so thankful for that.Usually each month there is some type of board game that can be played.  I had tried one in the past, but Sweet Pea wasn't ready.  When I saw a bunch of other...

Thanks to Mother Goose Time, Sweet Pea is obsessed with butterflies, which is perfectly fine with me. They're insects that I actually like.My previous post was all about our caterpillar day, and naturally, the next day, we studied butterflies.Mother Goose Time supplied this Invitation to Create, but you could easily do it at home.Here's what you need:-large sheet of white paper...

If you have been following our adventures for a little while, you know that I have really struggled with being able to fit all the daily discovery bags in each month.  I wrote about that here. The last several months we have picked and chose bags from our Mother Goose Time box that interested Sweet Pea.  I really loved how easily this month could be adjusted and how 2 bags could...

Tot School: Bug Sensory Bin

We've been exploring bugs this month.  I thought it would be a fun theme to make a sensory bin for Sweet Pea.  Here's what we did...First we read this awesome book that came with our Mother Goose Time unit.  Sweet Pea acted out some of the pages. Look Mom!  I can carry a blue car above my head too! I love it when we read and she has to get up because she relates to...

Bug Bingo

This month we are studying those gross nasties that make me cringe...BUGS and INSECTS!There is no denying that I am not a fan of bugs.Ladybugs and butterflies hold the exception.When teaching fourth grade Science, I had a mealworm and earthworm habitat in the room, so I can handle those too.  That's about it my friends.However, Mother Goose Time sure does know how to make these...
