Cc is a new letter for us and since you all already know paper 📝 and pencil aren’t my thing, here you go. 😉 Make the desired letter using tape and place a cotton ball on one end, which you could refer to as “the starting line.” The goal is to blow 💨 the cotton ball all the way to the other end, or “the finish line” 🏁 using the straw.

Yesterday we started our weather unit with talking and learning about the sun. These 3-year-olds can now tell you that when it’s daytime ☀️ on one side of the Earth 🌎, it’s nighttime 🌙 on the other side. It’s never too early to teach science to small children.

If you haven’t discovered water beads yet, welcome to my obsession. Up until this week, I had only bought the multicolored packs (some with fine motor tools included), but there’s a cloud and weather activity I want to do later this week that will require only blue beads (pictured here). I may have also purchased Halloween 🎃 👻 colored water beads for Saturday night’s sensory station. 🙈 But seriously, they…
