Spelling with bread ties is a fine motor literacy activity that reviewed the word families our daughter has been learning while reusing a material most people throw away! We've furthered the learning with a math game with bread ties.

The After School Attitude: Why Is My Child Acting Out at Home?
Yesterday a friend mentioned that her daughter has been coming home from preschool this week with a terrible attitude.
I started explaining why and giving tips about how she could help when I realized that this advice needed to reach more parents who are struggling with the dreaded After School Attitude!
Your child recently started back to school and you are seeing a behavior fall out at home but here is what is really going on.

Window Math
My preschooler has been so incredibly interested in math. (Thank you, Math Seeds!) The theme of this month's activity for the Light & Reflections series is motor skills. We did a few window math games with a gross motor twist!
Marshmallow Sensory Bin
After our invitation to build with marshmallows we dumped all the different types and sizes of marshmallows into a bin for sensory exploration! We created a marshmallow sensory bin for our preschooler and toddler.
Fine Motor Fun with Water Beads
Water beads are irresistible! For this invitation to play we provided lots of ways to explore the water beads that involved using fine motor skills.
Building with Marshmallows
Our preschooler has a renewed interest in building and construction. I point all the credit for her new passion to Korxx blocks for giving her the confidence she needed about her engineering skills! For this invitation I presented her with every size and shape of marshmallow we could find and let her imagination do the rest.

We loved learning with our alphabet slime so much that we had to put the clear slime back on the light table for this month's version of 12 Months of Sensory Dough: Slime Dough!
