Last week, or 2 weeks ago, or sometime ago I meant to blog about this. Have you ever read the book "Blueberries for Sal"? It is a delightful story about little Sal and her Mom picking blueberries and crossing paths with a mama bear and her little cub. My Mom gave Maggie a copy at her party and both girls have wanted to read it over and over again. In coincided perfectly with Libby learning her letter "B" so we read it all week and did activities to match.
 |
| B is for bear |
 |
| To get them excited about the story I found a mama and little bear for them to play with, some stumps, and a pail with pretend blueberries in it |
 |
| Maggie's B is for bear paper |
 |
| Libby and I used the pail to count out blueberries, but Maggie LOVED putting them into the pail then dumping them out and staring again |
 |
| In the story Sal and her mom were picking blueberries to can for the winter, so we bought some blueberries and canned them ourselves! |
 |
| Canning, eating whatever you want to call it |

Yum!
Love watching my girls enjoy learning. I also really love finding ways that help them learn. They have amazing little minds that soak stuff up like sponges.
Grace and Peace

Love the creative way to learn the letter "B". Even the little pail appears to be blue. There are also Maggie's "blueberry eyes" in #2 photo in previous blog, "Out of the Mouth of Babes".
This makes me laugh at how different of a stage Landon is in than Maggie. While she sits and empties and refills the can... Landon would be banging the can on the counter, eating the can, and throwing the can. Or maybe he's just a boy. :)
I don't know about enjoying the product - it looks more like Libby has been practising her art work on Maggie!
