Help Me, Help You
Since accidents happen often in my household, doing the laundry a couple times a week is the norm. I like to help out with this chore. It’s my job to turn the washing dial, pour the soap, and add the clothes. Then I watch the water fill up, and when it’s ready to spin I [...] -
Spray Away
A spray bottle is the perfect non-toy toy for summer. I use it to spray the flowers, plants, and trees outside. Sometimes I just spray aimlessly into the air, and get wet when the water lands on me. On a hot day, this non-toy toy is a refreshing way to cool down, but this week [...] -
Making Sense of The Senses
Using whatever materials we could find at home, Rah and I made a touch book. We used a cotton ball for feeling something soft, sandpaper for rough, tinfoil for smooth, tape with wax paper covering it for sticky, and lentils glued on paper for bumpy. I squeezed the glue on the paper for the materials [...] -
Let’s Take It Outside
Last year I dabbled in finger painting. Frankly, I wasn’t sure about that wet, gooey, sticky stuff on my fingers. I would dab small amounts on the special paper, and watch the color fade in. Fast forward to about a year later, and look at me now! This week, Rah-Rah set up my finger-painting session [...] -
My Pa Picasso
After Rah-Rah told me we were going to make a special Father’s Day gift for Da-Da, I was very excited because I thought she meant a cake. Disappointment led to happiness when I realized I was going to paint. And not using the shoddy watercolor paints with the bristly brush, but the tempera paints with [...] -
Put A Ring Binder On It
I woke up from my nap and Rah had cut out pictures from magazines of kids showing emotions. They were spread out on my table. It was my job to glue the pictures onto colored index cards. Then I had to tell Rah-Rah what all the kids were feeling so she could write the words [...] -
Pet Shop Toys
I was so excited when Rah-Rah told me we were going to make our own cat toy. First, we went outside to find the perfect stick, I had no clue why we were doing this, but went along with the program anyway. We brought two sticks into the house, and gathered the remaining supplies we [...] -
Highway to Horseplay
After reading Road Builders, Rah-Rah taped a big piece of paper onto the floor and told me we were going to draw a road just like the one in the story. Together, we drew two roads intersecting, and I had to find the red marker to draw two stop signs at the intersection. Rah asked [...] -
Hair Do with the Dough
I like Play-Doh Fun Factory, Making spaghetti hair was satisfactory. Then roll a ball, throw at the wall. Bring back to pound flat, using my hammer named Pat. Now make a facey, who looks like a Tracy… before cutting the hair on Play-Doh’s head, because now it looks more like a Fred. -
Read My Tulips: Make these Flowers
Flowers and Mother’s Day are synonymous. I wanted to take the colorful tulips that I see growing outside, but the only flowers I’m allowed to pick are the yellow ones in the grass that my Rah calls Dandy Lions. Therefore, we decided to collaborate and make our own tulips. Unlike real flowers, these crafty [...]
