Riley and Avery

Practical Life: I made Avery several practical life activities, but this one is her favorite so far. I bought some of those summer ice cube shape thingies and put them in a big bowl of water. She fishes them out with tongs. She'll work on this work for about an hour.

Other activities I made her are a bean-pouting activity, a bead-sorting activity, and a poof-ball transfering activity.


Golden Beads: Riley is getting the concept of 1, 10, 100, and 1000 pretty fast. We've only done it once so far and she successfully counted 2,345 "beads." Making the wooden numbers was a pain in the butt, and if I were to do it again, I would have just used the templates available online and laminated them. But as usual, I had to do it the hard way.
