A Week Full of Love - Homeschooling with Mother Goose Time

For February we have been learning about hearts and the color Red with Mother Goose Time! Since we celebrated Valentines Day early, we decided to focus this whole week on Hearts! There were so many fun projects this week so I thought I would highlight a few.

First, we created this awesome Invitation to Create! With this photo as inspiration, Bella very carefully placed beads on the Pipe Cleaners and twisted it around our heart shaped Pipe Cleaner.

This was incredible for Bella's hand-eye coordination. I was impressed with how she was able to get the little beads on the pipe cleaner all on her own!

Next, we used her Heart shaped stamp (included in this month's kit), a red marker and her Heart page in her My Little Journal to let her create a page all of her own.

For the My Little Journal I like to give Bella free range so she can create whatever she wants. She decided to stamp lots of hearts and fill it with her marker.

While it may not seem like a big deal, Bella has become so much better and staying inside the lines and concentrating on filling certain areas! I'm so proud of her!



In preparing for making our Valentines for family, we got in the holiday spirit by breaking into our Valentines Pack (included for free in this month's box). It's also available to download for free here!

The first item was this super cute Valentines head band!

Bella has really improved on her cutting and wants to cut whenever is possible! She was my little helper and cut tissue paper to fill the hearts.

Her coordination has also improved drastically! She now can help with tape and put the pieces on herself. 

She concentrates so hard! I love how involved these projects keep her. 

The finished product! Bella loved her headband, but not being a model! HA!

Next we played this fun letter game! Each piece has one capital letter and one lower case letter. It helped her learn this new concept in a fun and easy way!



Lastly, today on Sunday we did our Experience God activity which also was heart themed! For this project Bella decorated a heart pocket and weaved yarn to create a pocket for Bible verses!

Bella and Trinity had fun pouring the glue on the heart. I've been letting Trinity get more involved in our crafts and she really enjoys them as well! I am thinking it's time to order enough supplies for her to join in on the fun and learning!

Of course we had to add glitter! Included in the pack of course. They give you everything!!!



While our glue and glitter dried, Bella cut out her verses and we read them together.



The stringing of the yarn was another excellent exercise to improve Bella's coordination. The pocket turned out so cute and I LOVE the cards that Bella can now use to memorize verses!

All of these awesome crafts and projects have made for a great Valentines prep! Don't forget to head over and get you free kit! Not only are these projects fun to make, but they teach your child so many skills and new topics in a easy and interesting way!

After months of being a paying customer, I received this month for free in exchange for my honest feedback!
