Luke has been super interested in learning how to spell words lately. So when J was working the other night I took the kids to B & N for some dessert and some train table play time. On the way out I noticed the pre-school teaching section and grabbed some flash cards for Luke and Evan. For Luke I got a box of 3 letter words (so cool). The idea is to start forming/spelling 3 letter words by completing the picture. Once he's gotten the hang of that there are letters on the back of each card so we can start building our own words. Simply put - he loves them. He requests that we "play" them at least a few times a week. It's pretty great. For Evan I picked up a box of cards that works on letters, colors, shapes, numbers and matching. Also a big hit. I had no idea how well Evan knew his numbers until we started working on these cards. (for the record, he's great with the other stuff, too : )).
And not to be left out - Kate LOVES to color. She is fascinated with holding the crayon in her hand and making marks on paper. It's really sweet. I just have to keep and eye on her because she also enjoys eating the crayons. ; )
