Just a few highlights.
Grinding rosemary in the mortar with the pestle has been Bear's favorite activity all week.
Another of Bear's favorite things this week was watering the tomatoes.
She looks at everything through that magnifying glass.
I got this clock at Target. I had a photo of Bear using it, but it is blurry and sideways every time I stick it in the post. It's great for teaching time. Bear can tell time to the hour after just ten minutes of playing with this. It has little sliding doors below the clock face to hide the hour and minutes and Bear loves changing the time, telling me the hour, and then opening the little door to check. She's really into checking her work this week. I think it has to do with the self-checking tree activities I made her.
This female cardinal was at our front door this morning. We walked by her to the car several times before she decided we were too close and flew away. We think she may have hit the glass storm door and been a little stunned. She was so beautiful and I couldn't believe how close we were to her.
Thanks for sharing your Mont. moments this week. I keep meaning to get a magnifying glass for my kids for our outdoor work.
ReplyDeleteMight I suggest adding cutting the grass to watering the tomatoes. My kids love their cutting work!
Julie!! Great activities, I love all of them!!! specially the tree and the parts!! so lovely.... I'm inspiring!!
ReplyDeleteSuch fabulous activities! I really like your felt tree puzzle, and that cardinal is gorgeous. A pair of cardinals live in our yard, but they are shy animals and we hardly ever see them, and certainly never close enough to photograph!
ReplyDeleteGrinding rosemary, watering plants, and learning the parts of the tree all sound like work that my sons would enjoy doing.
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing.

Look like Bear had lots of fun! My little one loves looking at the plants too! I will have to let her take the magnifying glass outside too! Why did I not think of that?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up! (if you want you can grab the Monday's Montessori Button to grab instead of Mommy Moment, but it's up to you!
Have a lovely day!

You always offer such a variety of activities and topics to Bear. I have to look for that clock - it looks like something Anna might enjoy too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Montessori Monday! Add me to the list of mamas who are now going to hunt down that clock. ;) I really like the felt tree puzzle, too.
