Sick Days - Replaying Mother Goose Time

My house has been run into the ground this week. We all shared a head cold followed by a stomach bug. Let me just tell you that schooling was the last thing on my mind. My 3 year old was not sick (thankfully) when I first was. This left me out of energy and her full of it. For this, I pulled out some  previous Mother Goose Time Curriculum that she really loved!

Since this project was fun enough for her to do multiple days, I thought I should share it with you! Just another reason why I love MGT! It's the gift that keeps on giving!

Last month's theme was Community Helpers and Bella learned about all kinds of different careers. One day was Mail Carrier and it was so creative!

Each child was given a Mail Bag, postcards and corresponding posters. Like a mail carrier, the child decides which postcard goes to the corresponding poster. To make it even more fun I set up paper cups as "mailboxes" and hung them throughout the house on the wall with mess free putty.

She matched the Dalmatian on the postcard to the Dalmatian in the Poster

While it was fun, it taught my toddler a lot of different skills like problem solving and recognition. It also helped her motor skills a lot by teaching her to open the bag, shuffle through the post cards and place them in the "mailboxes". I would have NEVER thought of such an amazing idea on my own. I am constantly in awe of the ideas and projects presented in each month's kit!

She had a blast even when I couldn't give her 100% of my energy. I love being able to watch her learn so much about the world that I wouldn't think of teaching her. If you are interested, definitely check out their website! It is affordable and worth every penny.

Look at this smile!
