you will find new ideas for that unused material!
Here’s the story: At the time I was “homeschooling” Pinky, I got so excited about all the amazing things I found at the dollar spot at Target or Dollar Tree. Oh My!!!! I was like a kid in a toy store.
However, sometimes things got accumulated in my already crowded closet and got forgotten with time. For my surprise, Pinky was not interested in that theme anymore….for example the ABCs. Hello! there’re too many things to do with the ABCs that you can get tired of it, as: recognizing upper/lowercase letters, match it, sing it, jump it, skip it, recite it, color it, paint it, cut it or whatever “innovative strange” idea a mommy’s brain could come up with it.
Yes, there’s too much to do with the ABCs…..So, trying to get my hand into my closet, this is what I found:
ABCS upper/lowercase letters matching puzzles from Target.
I know, repetition is good for kids but I really get bored and Pinky, too!
Therefore, before getting rid of these (Mommy’s sentimental issues) here’s what we came up with: Big girls' ABCs puzzles memory game………very grown up!
Don’t you see how happy and excited she gets whenever she finds a match, and then she uses her tiny fingers to put the pieces together, line them up carefully, and use a lot of concentration during the task. Don’t you love multi-task activities???
When the game was finished, we decided to kind of measure who won the game.: the tallest column won (almost as taller as Pinky)……of course Mommy won!!! lol……
No no no…..Pinky won, she is getting really good at those games….and are helping her to stay focus for a long period of time…even when she is not concentrated in the game: I don’t know how she does it to match the cards so easily…
That’s how I follow my child interest into board games to re-use old materials!
