Learning more about caterpillars and other summery things (tot school)

~*~Madalyn is 33 months old~*~

Tons and tons of drawing, coloring, and writing.  Madalyn started writing letters this week.  She says (random) letters as she writes a letter (sort of) on some paper.  She also has been refining her drawing and coloring skills and made huge strides this week.  I am NOT big into coloring in the lines/coloring books, but Madalyn loves them and does color in them frequently by her choice.  She has started coloring specific areas of the images on the pages.

Here is a drawing she did of a rainbow (the lines), and I believe she “wrote” rainbow below it.

Writing letters.

 

And a face (daddy to be specific).  Eyes, nose, and mouth.  How cute is that?  (I know, I am totally biased!  But still, I think this is huge and totally great!)

Puzzles are always a huge hit (she matched colors, named shapes, identified colors).

Here is what we observed our caterpillars doing this week:

 

Things we made for father’s day:

Madalyn colored each letter, and then with some help from mommy, cut out the letters.  Then she had to match and glue the letters onto the page.  She loved this activity and is quite proud of herself.
