Letter M

Posted on November 13, 2011 by Crisc| 12 Comments

To start off the weekend we took a trip to Chicago to see my in-laws and visit Downtown.

This week lined up perfect. Since Thanksgivings around the corner the 1st thing we did was match M with Manners.

I added cutouts to one of Heavens workboxes to work on table manners.

We played with moon sand again this week..

M is for Monkey (Thomas age 2)

That’s a great way of introducing table manners. I was just thinking of how I was going to start doing that the other day.

Wonderful activities! I’ve been tempted to try the moon sand but haven’t done it yet. Its it as neat as it seems on tv?

Popping in from Tot School.

Found you on tot school- I’ve been wanting to do the milk and food coloring activity. I hadn’t seen the “making plastic” activity before I’ll have to file that one away for later. Thanks for sharing.

Okay, that is supremely cool! I’ve never made plastic before. I’ll have to remember this because I”m sure there will come a point I want to try it.

Thanks for linking up to Science Sunday.

Wow, I never would have thought to do your vinegar experiment with Milk. I’ll have to try that one.
Great idea for Manners too. We just finished Mm but never thought to do manners too!

what a wonderful array of activities to celebrate the letter M! Great science experiments – I’ve never done the plastic one.

Thanks for linking your idea to the Sunday Showcase last week. Hope to see you this week!
