...and join us for preschool

Maddox turned 3 in May and while most kids his age started preschool in September I decided to keep him home. Well kind of. We are so lucky to have meet two wonderful families that were looking for an alternative to formal preschool too. We have based our "lessons" on play. After all, that is how three-year-olds learn best! We started in September with an around the house theme. We did activities based on laundry, mail, and recycling. I don't have many pictures from this first month but here are a couple. After sorting different type of recyclables we asked the kids if they could come up with something to make with them. They had been putting a large tin and box on their heads earlier and were acting like robots thus it was only to obvious that they choose to make robots. How cute are these?!

Later that week Maddox and I pressed old supermarket fliers, added watered-down glue into these cookie cutters to make  decorations.
