Nursery Rhymes


Last week our Twinkie Time was based on nursery rhymes. One of the twins' favorite books is Mary Engelbreit's Mother Goose. It was one of the first books we read together and now we often read the book cover to cover before their naps. Twinkie Time was a natural extension of some of their favorite nursery rhymes.

Monday - Table Time - This Little Piggy Shadow Matching from Little Adventures Tot Packs
                Floor Time - I cut up some sheep from Little Adventures and hid them around the room. We pretended we were Little Bo Peep in search of her sheep. My little Emma loved this activity.

Tuesday - Table Time - Hickory Dickory Dock Size Ordering from Little Adventures
                Floor Time - Repeat of Monday

Wednesday - Table Time - Water colored different sheep for Baa Baa Black Sheep
                     Floor Time - Rice Sensory Bin

Enos

Monday - I introduced the account using the Little Hands visuals from LatterDay Chatter. We sang I Pray in Faith from the Children's Songbook.

Tuesday - We drew pictures of all the different things that we can pray for while singing our song.

Wednesday - Enos is a little tricky to act out while keeping the interest of a two year old. :) I retold the story emphasizing that just like Heavenly Father heard and answered Enos, He will hear and answer the twins as well.

Friday - Retelling of the story
