yellow day...

We took a break from making holiday decorations to work on our color and shape of the week. We went around the daycare and found lots of yellow items... toys, fruit, and maybe a purse.

We used our yellow flashcard to sort items, today we used cars and teddy bears. After the sorting we made a very cool yellow beaded bracelet that became "best friend" bracelets.

As our morning continued, we tore yellow paper and glued it to our shape, the crescent... not moon, crescent. While the kids worked on covering their shape (crescent), we read "Good Night Moon", just to confuse them a little more.

It has taken us a little while to get to this point but we are finally getting to the point we can have table time activities. I introduced this concept to the kids about a month a go. It is pretty much center time but diving up in groups of 1-2 kids. Normally when we are doing center activities we are doing it as a group. Now, we are splitting up, setting a timer, and rotating.

Today's table time was magnets and linking toys.


Thanks for checking in and check back to see what is next on the decorating fun!!!
