Lucas is 37 months. Gwendolyn is 15 months.
Work mat
I saw the idea for a work mat at Tired, Need Sleep and loved it! We went out and got a fall themed place mat (that Lucas picked out) to use as our work mat. I'm hoping it will help with getting one activity out at a time and keeping each activity contained in one area, rather than wandering all over the house. Lucas has really been enjoying it. Tho not using it quite how I had envisioned :)
We did play Dominoes on it. And Lucas pulled up a truck and trailer to load with Dominoes.
And we tried out some new finger paint that is only supposed to show up on the special paper that it comes with. Lucas was SO not into it. The colors were really dull and took kind of a long time to show up.
Games
We got a Go Fish game. Lucas has loved it!! It's great practice with color matching and numbers. Gwendolyn mostly chews on the fishing pole. She does practice colors, too.
Beads
The kids tried putting Perler beads onto the little pokey boards. It lasted all of about 30 seconds before they were both bored.
Learning through play
Lucas made a fence with the tops of lamp shades. I love hearing the stories he tells with his pretend play :)
Both kids loved putting credit cards into wallets.
And for a unique sensory experience, we played with squishy rubbery balls.
Writing practice
Music time
The kids love singing The Farmer In The Dell with our stacking cards :)
Art time
We have been doing some fall themed art. And some gluing. And some stickers.
Life school
We spent a day out on the farm driving big machines around and chasing pigs :)
Recess
This has really become a favorite part of our day!

cute stuff:) fun field trip! I'm planning on taking noah to my family concrete business this week sometime to see all the trucks...i hope he'll have fun! and noah also loves playing with wallets...we have to be careful, though, because he's lost some things before!
Wow!! Looks like the whole family is having a great time. Lucas and Gwendoyn sure are learning alot of new things while having fun:)

What is it with kids and wallets? :-) My daughter loves to get in to mine, pull everything out and rearrange it all.
