With this beautiful change of weather and learning about seasons, collecting sticks and leaves ๐ outdoors โ๏ธ was an absolute pleasure. I wasnโt quite sure how this would turn out, but H even asked to create more than one leaf creature, selecting a butterfly ๐ฆ from the example. He worked so hard to come up with his creation, including asking for markers and additional construction paper. There may have been examples pictured…
Itโs December 1st, yโall! Run over to momdot.com to get this FREE printable that I found out about, thanks to @simpletoddleractivities. B and I will be adding 1 cotton ball a day to Santaโs beard ๐ until Christmas. ๐๐ Let the countdown begin…

To adapt this for younger children, use colored markers instead of black marker…
Yet another idea for younger children to learn letter formation, identification, and naming, without using a pencil. โ๏ธ Here these 3-year-olds were being introduced to the letter R for rainbow ๐ and using hand-eye coordination in order to match the dot markers up with the circles. Dot markers can be picked up anywhere from the @dollartree to @amazon and come in all kinds of colors. Children can use them…
