I am little strawberry...red and sweet!

Love, love these dirty little hands:)

Sung to: "I'm A Little Teapot"

I am a strawberry,

Red and Sweet.

See all my seeds

And my cap so neat.

When I grow ripe

And ready to eat,

Pop off my cap--

A tasty Treat!

Seeing Pink and Red...V-Day Work

I just finished reading this book How to Raise an Amazing Child the Montessori Way, by Tim Seldin
and this book Montessori Play and Learn: A Parent's Guide to Purposeful Play for Ages Two to Six, by Lesley Britton both were recommended by this blog http://countingcoconuts.blogspot.com/2010/04/all-things-montessori.html , which I LOVE! I am just learning about this style of teaching but their are some really great ideas for daily tasks as well as play.  I think we will slowly incorporate more!
Sam has become just as interested in "work" activities as Tanner so I am trying to put 6-7 items out on the shelf for him each month as well as Tanner. This month included:

1. Spooning beads into an ice tray
2. Coloring with pink, red, purple crayons
3. blocks
4. Red magnetos
5. Playdoh
6 & 7. Clothspins
8. Counters into container
9. matching Red and Pink
