First of all, I must apologize for the simply AWFUL pictures in this post.My Bible fell on top of my phone and shattered the camera lens. No amount of filtering can fully restore these images. (my nice camera was borrowed over this week)I am in love with the Experience God pack from Mother Goose Time.Reasons why:It spends the entire month studying one truth about God. ...

At Alphabet Island, we do not only learn letters, we learn numbers too!I love the foam puzzle manipulatives we received this month!Pop out the numbers and put them in some water and now you have Number Islands!Mother Goose Time sent us a pocket cube a year ago, and we placed some numbers in there. Sweet Pea threw the cube and then found the matching number and pulled that island out of the...

Game Time: Building Sandcastle Towers

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...

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

leslie May 16, 2017 0 Comments

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...

Easter is around the corner, and you know what that means...EGG DECORATING.This month our Birds and Eggs unit came with a "Who's in the Nest?" attendance tracker. Since it is just me and Sweet Pea, I decided to modify the nest to become a "How many are in the Nest? daily game for Sweet Pea. First we had some Egg decorating to do.The supplies you need are:-shaving cream-food coloring or...

A Trip to the Pond

When I moved to this town 17 years ago, I hated it! It is a small college town halfway between 2 major cities."There's nothing here! There's nothing to do!" I was from "the city" when I first arrived in this town, and I didn't know all the gems this new area had to offer. Frankly when I first moved here, I didn't care much for even learning what this town had to...

It just so happened that we were studying and reading books on snakes which was the same thing I had planned for us to study that afternoon with our Mother Goose Time! I adjusted the order of our days using the Planning...
