busy hands

using tweezers
to pluck seeds from a sunflower
{we'll toast the seeds and eat them for a snack}

finishing up a bracelet made from
cut straws and a pipe cleaner

play dough!

using gentle hands to admire
fragile objects

reading and writing /ee/ words
{long vowel e}

constructing a tower with
the knobless cylinders
{big to little}

2 friends building short vowel words
with the movable alphabet
{I love this photo}
See those little yellow pouches?
There's one for each vowel
{a, e, i, o, u}
Each pouch has
three ever-changing objects
that share the same middle, short-vowel sound.
I made the blue felt on the right last year...
it's just a rectangle of blue felt
embroidered {ish}
to mimic the lines on
beginning writing paper.
{Let me know if you'd like instructions to make one of your own!}
