As I was working on lesson plans for Allison, I kept thinking that the 2 yr old curriculum was too easy for her (a good thing), but I really didn't want to have to start over on a new one or purchase one. It didn't take long to after trying to incorporate the 3 yr old one into the 2 yr old to where I said, "Forget it!" and bought the new one. I'm actually still waiting for it to come in the mail, but that's not stopping me from getting ready. Everything is online and free, but I like having the printed version so I'm not constantly on the computer printing things off. While waiting for it to come in the mail, I've been prepping by cutting out a LOT of felt.
My hands are sore from all the cutting. Yesterday, I cut out felt for busy bags to help keep Allison entertained during quiet times. I made the button snake, build-a-cupcake, and clothesline busy bags from
Money Saving Mom. (She hasn't played with yet, so no pictures) There is more I want to do, but it will have to wait until my hand is not sore. Today, I made textile letters and number for school.
I bought the letters already cut out, so that helped. I cut all the card stock though. I had enough in the package to do the alphabet, Allison's full name, and the numbers 0-9 twice. I put the 2nd set on smaller cards, so when we are doing double digit numbers, they can be closer together.

I even make something for Mary-Kate. Just a bottle with a hole cut out of it for her to drop clothespins down. She likes it. :)
Who knew duck tape came in such fun colors?
I'm hoping to have the curriculum tomorrow, so I can really plan for start date of Aug. 27. The only thing left on my school wish list is a Bible flannel graph. I think it may be the only way Allison will listen about the Bible. Right now when I get the Bible out, she runs away screaming....
