Pat-A-Cake Perfection with Mother Goose Time

One day of Mother Goose Time really stood out this week as Bella's favorite so I had to share! Mother Goose Time is the monthly homeschooling kit I use to teach my 3 year old. It comes with projects, activities and supplies for 20 days and SO MUCH MORE! I have posted previously about it on my blog like here .

Today's theme was Pat-A-Cake! Bella is my little baker who loves anything to do with cooking so she absolutely loved today's activities! We started off by reciting Pat-a-Cake since it is one of her favorite Nursery Rhymes.

 

 Bella loved reciting it together and has gotten really good!


Next we played this cute cake game that helped Bella with her number recognition, shape recognition and counting.

She was also able to help me separate the hearts from the cutouts. Little exercises like this have really helped her develop her motor skills in a new way.

Bella would choose a card, announce which number it was and then place that amount of hearts on the cake. She also matched the different sized hearts with their correct sized silhouette on the cake.

 

She was so proud of herself when she filled up the whole cake!

 



The next part of the day is always Bella's favorite: craft time! This Invitation to Create was super cute.

Bella created her own "cupcakes". While the recipe called for Shaving Cream, we went a little outside of the box and used real frosting!

Her favorite part was definitely putting the sprinkles on top!

Oh, and of course trying the frosting and sprinkles for herself!

After her first cupcake she was in the mood to create more cupcakes so we used her manipulatives to create out own cupcakes with Floam.

She even put a "cherry on top"!

I love to watch the creativity she uses during class time.

Lastly, to clean up, I had her string her manipulatives onto her shoe string (included in this month's kit). Her fine motor skills are leaps and bounds above what they were when we started Mother Goose Time! I loved watching her accomplish putting all the Blue on her string! The manipulatives are one of my favorite things included in each box.

 

 I love her concentration and determination! She is so focused during her little projects. I love the things we get to do together every day thanks to Mother Goose Time! I recommend this program to everyone!

 

After months of being a paying customer, I received this month's box for free in exchange for my personal experience!
