The Day 4 and Day 5 highlights are a bit delayed, but for excellent reasons! We ended up having visitors on both days! Lots of playing outside and sipping homemade lemonade out of straws...delightful!

For some quiet time we did end up pulling out one of our favorite preschool activities...dough! We use Moon Dough because it is wheat free, but Play Dough was our standard for years. We love it all! Currently our little guy enjoys what we call "Hide and Go Seek Moon Dough Style". It is a game that our daughter Love came up with one day when she was playing with her brother. One person takes a few little toy animals, like these:
and hides them each in a ball of dough. Then you make several balls that do not have an animal inside. You call the other person in and they have to guess if the ball is empty or not. Then they break it open and see what is inside. This game can go on all morning at our house. We all just take turns hiding the animals and being the "finder".
Another fun thing to do with Play Dough is to mix uncooked rice into the dough. This was something one of Thunderbolt's therapists had us do at home to assist with sensory development issues. It is really fun! The rice eventually gets broken down into little bits, which changes the texture even more. Try using a dark color of dough, which will contrast well with the white rice and make the dough visually interesting as well. It's a good thing to try on a rainy day when you need something new!
I hope you enjoyed peeking into some of our preschool activities. I am always intrigued by new ideas, so send some of your favorites my way. I'd love to hear from you!
