I think I have said before that I am using a "curriculum" for Molly called Before Five in a Row. Basically the guide gives you age appropriate books to read to the 2-4 year old and then for the rest of the week...Five in a row...you do an activity or game or read the book again and point out different things, etc. Last week we did Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear. She loved it! Some of the activities that it suggested were having the older siblings and Molly act out the book as Mommy read it...(we did this), read the book and talk about all the ways the paren's of Jesse are showing love, cut out a bear from paper and have the child using scrap fabric to dress the bear, let the child dress like Jesse Bear one day. We did some of these and it was fun. Molly started praying for Jesse Bear anytime we were praying during the week.
This week's book is My Blue Boat and today we happen to find a sand toy boat in the garage. It's purple but it is a cute little boat that looks just like the one in the book. She loved making her boat do all the things that the girl in the book did with the boat. At the end of the book, the little girl puts the boat on a shelf above her bed.....and so did Molly.....
I'm learning that the repitition of the book all during the week is just wonderful and she loves it and it is quite Classical of us too!
