No work today

I was in the middle of setting up Dragonfly's activities for today while she was watching Letter Factory, when I received a call from the school nurse saying that Ladybug was running a 102.7 fever. I went into the other room to grab Dragonfly and she was sacked out and running a fever as well. So we grabbed Ladybug from school and now they are both cozy in my bed enjoying snuggle/movie time with mommy. But here are the activities Dragonfly was going to do today.

Size hearts. Largest to smallest.

Heart toothpicks. I made these by putting a toothpick between to form sticker hearts. I saw on another blog that someone found plastic hearts on a stick but I haven't seen them at the store. I also figured I could make my own.

Heart graphing.

Covering the letter V with form sticker hearts. These are the Faith version. You will find phrases like Jesus Saves, Jesus Cares, God's love and so on.

My sick girls curled up in my bed watching a movie. Last week Butterfly was sick and now Ladybug is home from school. I am enjoying this one on two time with my girls even if they are sick.

Valentine's Activities

I am so excited for a new month and to pull out the heart related activities. Dragonfly and I had been in Target this past month and found some really fun Valentine items.

I found a heart shaped mixing bowl that will be our sensory bucket for this month. I have a few different things to put in it but for this week it is filled with little plastic hearts. I also found heart shaped measuring cups. Dragonfly had the best time filling the cups and putting a plastic heart in each heart shaped spot in the ice cube tray.

The other ice cube tray that we have, I filled with a numbered heart. Dragonfly counted out the correct number of red beads into each heart.

Another counting activity using form hearts.

Heart Matching. This was a little tricky for Dragonfly but I am sure she will catch on to the difference quickly.
Thank you to a fellow homeschooling mom who posted some great worksheets that we enjoyed today. Click HERE to print your own sheets.

V is for valentine. Dragonfly used a valentine stamp to fill in each dot.

Cutting between the Love stamp. Dragonfly loves to cut so she was really excited to have a cutting activity today.

She needed very little help today. I love to watch her develop this new skill.

We had a very successful first day of February. Can't wait to spend the whole month talking about love. Most importantly God's love for us!
