Dinosaur Pack Update

/ Erin / No comments

A little over a year ago I first had the opportunity to talk with and then work with Cassie from 3 Dinosaurs.  Our first project together was a dinosaur pack.  It seemed fitting!

Since then we have worked on many many projects together, encouraged each other on a daily basis, and become great friends.  I’ve always heard of bloggers coming together and becoming friends, and now I’m thrilled that it’s happened to me.

As a way to commemorate the past year, we’ve decided to do a dinosaur pack update!

A-J Review Game: Uno

/ Erin / 2 comments

The boys have been really into Uno the past few weeks and I had an idea to make an Uno style review game.  I know Royal is going to love it!

AJReview

This review game covers A-J and also includes Skip, Draw Two, and Wild cards.

 

The rules – every player starts with 7 cards.  The rest of the cards are placed in a pile face down, with one flipped over for the start of the game.  Player 1 plays a card from his/her hand that is either the same color or same letter as the turned card.  If no cards can be played, draw 1 from the pile.

Continue going back and forth until someone has one card left.  That player needs to say ‘Uno’.  A player can win by putting down all cards in their hand.

Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni–Virtual Book Club for Kids

/ Erin / 4 comments
Leo Lionni is a favorite author of authors.  We don’t own a lot of his books, but the ones that we do own are read over and over and over again. 

 

 

We decided to check out a new book this month, and stumbled upon Inch by Inch.  I loved it immediately and the boys enjoyed it too!

We decided to see how many things we could find around the house that were 1in long.  I made these cute little Inchworm Rulers to help us out.  All 3 boys got a ruler, and then we set out to find our inch things.

Baloo found a pumpkin counter…

Royal had to try a few lego blocks before finding one that was just the right size.

And we kept going!

Once we filled up one ruler we decided to stop.  10 things was enough!  The boys continued to go around measuring things with their rulers though.
