Wednesday: Cooking Circles

The idea of this activity is to make something that is circular. My first thought was sugar cookies but Angel Girl is dairy allergic so butter and milk are not options for us in anything. Then I realized we could make dairy free biscuits as long as I use the dairy free vegan butter we have. So I found this recipe. We made it together and used a cup to cut out the circles. Angel Girl loved rolling out the dough and then cutting out the circles. Then we ate them for lunch which made it more fun I think.

Monday: Matching

For this I just grabbed different sock since Angel Girl loves to help "fold" sock during laundry time. I put them in a pile and had her match them. She had a great time and loved to say daddy sock, mommy sock, baby sock. Easy and quick and something she can now "help" with during laundry.

Friday: Valentine's Art

For Valentine's Day Angel Girl did this. For us it was hard to get her little hands to make such perfect hearts so I just drew a heart around the prints. Either way it turned out super cute...and daddy loved his card.

Thursday: Taste Likes and Dislikes

So for this day I got a variety of different fruits and veggies. Some I knew Angel Girl likes and some that she had never tried before including Kolrabi (I am sure I spelled that wrong :)). I had Angel Girl try the new food and I had a piece too. Mostly she just licked it and said yuck to all the new stuff BUT I did find out she likes mangos! I think I may do this more often because eventually maybe she will take a bit and not just lick it, considering she use to not even try it and just say yuck.

Wednesday: Counting to 5 with balls

We continue to work on counting to 5. Today we did it with 5 balls. We rolled them, threw them, kicked them and bounced them. We counted as we did it. We put 5 in a large bucket all together and took them out. We put one each in 5 containers and counted. The most important thing was repeating the order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Monday/Wednesday: Beading Sequence

Going along with sequencing I am doing some math patterns. Originally on Monday I was going to do an AB pattern (only 2 colors) but I realized that this was a completely new activity to Angel Girl. So for Monday I pulled out her beads and let her string any way she wanted to. This was to help her get the idea of stringing. Then I put it on her like a necklace. Then on Wednesday I started with a very simple AB patter. Pink/Purple/Pink/Purple. This is not a concept I expect her to master or even really understand fully just begin to see. So I helped her with picking out the next bead. She really likes having the necklace to where. It also helps with her fine motor skills to string beads onto a piece of string.
