As I posted on G+ awhile back, Isia has been requesting silly games for learning. This doesn't surprise me, and probably doesn't surprise you either from the glimpses of her here. She has a strong spirit, my first child. And she knows herself pretty well. She's an extremely Active child, and unless she's creating something, she's running around, jumping on the furniture when she thinks I'm not looking (ahem), and throwing impromptu dance parties. Idle hands are a bit dangerous with this kiddo, so I try to help keep them busy! Creating these alphabet people together have been perfect for that.
And it's also helped whittle down my box of 500 popsicle sticks (what was I thinking??) down a bit. You could easily draw on hair, but Isia used hot glue to glue on yarn for ours. (Here's my tips for hot gluing with kids) Drawn on faces, washi tape outfits, and- of course- a letter of their very own. My theater-loving child loves interacting with them, and they've been very gracious teachers. Silly alphabet game? Check.

They're so engaging to her! We're finding out they all like different things. Mr. B likes bears, basketballs, boats, etc. Such fun!
DeleteWould love to hear from you!
