Learning

This is a coffer with 15 folding-picture books about nature, colors, transport, weather, shapes, opposites, clothes, animals, zoo, insects, farm, numbers, fruit, flowers and the sea. Di knows most of the words included. It is suitable for smaller children, but Di still likes to play with it.

Busy Bee

Di is helping her father in this photo. We bought wooden floor to her bedroom. First we wanted to buy cork floor, but the cork was more expensive, so we changed our mind.

A cork board

I bought a cork board for Di. Then I printed AppleSequencing from FileFolderFun and cut the apples. Di had to sequence the apples by size and tack them on the board.

Creative moments with Grandma

I have already written about grandma`s creative activities with Di. Di presses her to make something and grandma really tries hard. Di brings an art project almost every day.

Counting with Disney

I bought this game a couple months ago and Di likes it. She can learn about numbers by playing with the train. Once she has assembled the train, it was easier for her to link number and quantity. She can count from 1 to 10 in Slovak and in English, too. It is important for her to meet with figures and quantity.

Late autumn

I was at home today, because of flu holidays. So we made this late autumn activity. Di painted a drawing paper blue and green. When it dried up, we made red and yellow fingerprints on the paper. Finally I cut out the tree from a brown cardboard paper and stuck it on the painting.

Bridge to Terabithia

Actually, I liked the film very much. The film reminded me my own child kingdom, full of adventures, I spent a good few years of my life there. I didn`t like it, when Leslie died...
It was Di`s playtime with daddy. They played with Magic building set. And dady built this nice bridge, Di enjoyed the bridge.

Real Painting

Di is almost three. It`s time to prepare a bedroom for her. So we gave us a kick and started to paint the room yellow and lavender. Di wanted to help, of course. There is a lot of work to do, but I hope we will make it on time.

An airoplane

While Di was painting a toilett paper roll with a blue tempera, I was cutting wings, an airscrew and a plane`s tale from a brown paper. Then we stuck the components together. You need to make three notches to stuff the plane`s tale into the roll.

A globe

This is the FIRST art project which was made-up by Di. We have a small globe. Actually it is the radio. Di said: Mami, let`s go to do the activity. And I asked: What shall we do? And she suggested to make the globe. She made a ball from the newspapers and pretended it is the globe. I suggested her to stick it with a glue. So I mixed some glue, water and blue tempera and Di painted the ball. It dried up and it was firm enough to play with.

Mosaic

You need a cardboard paper, a nice poster, a glue, scissors, a ruler, a pencil and a dark cardboard paper.
First Di stuck the poster on the cardboard paper. When it dried up, I divided the poster on equal squares with the ruler and the pencil and I also cut them out. Finally we stuck the poster squares on the dark cardboard paper to make the mosaic.

We are ill

Di fell ill first, then me and my husband. We use antibiotics and I hope we will be OK soon. I am scared a little bit of the situation in Ukrainian. It is quite near...
