This week at ABC & 123's Prize Picnic, we are doing an alphabet theme!
This week was really hard for me to figure out what to write, I have been trying to figure out what to do and how to organize learning the alphabet with Molly. My biggest issue, is how old and when to start each individual letter and sound. She is 20 months, and so far we read LOTS of alphabet books, play with and point out her magnet and bath letters, and look through her flashcards(but she really only likes the pictures on these) as well as similar activities.
What age did you start? I have been reading through
everyones posts, and have gotten some really great ideas! Thanks everyone!
Here is my list of Molly's favorite things:
A- Animals (anything animal is a hit)
B- Bunnies (she loves anything bunny)
C- Coloring, any and all paper
D- Doll house (favorite toy)
E-
Eating (always been a great
eater)
F- Freezes (she loves Mr.
Freezes)
G- George (Curious George is a favorite)
H- Heidi (she mentions her cousin Heidi everyday, as well as her other cousins)
I- Ice Cream (who doesn't love
this)
J- Jumping (she very excited to have learned this one)
K- Kicking (learned this in swimming lessons)
L- Laughing
M- Music (singing and playing the recorder)
N- Night, Night (bedtime routine)
O-
Owee's (she had a band-aid for the first time, and now playing
owee)
P- Potty (very interested in this one right now)
Q- Q-Tips (she loves to paint with them)
R- Running (she tells us what she is doing... Running!)
S- Slides
T- Trampolines (1-2-3-Stop, I use to teach trampoline)
U- Uncles (she loves her great uncle, and aunts too)
V- Veggie Tales Books (Her Bob book is her favorite)
W- Water (she LOVES swimming)
X-
eXtended stays at Grandma and Papa's
Y- Yo
Yo's (Grandma has one that lights up)
Z- Zoo (what's not to like)
I can't believe we are already into summer. I am definitely going to have to try and find some great summer recipes for next week. Here is what we are eating this week:
This week, I finally sewed flowers, buttons and ribbon onto Molly's hamper. I am so happy how it turned out(hard to see in picture, the flowers are two that overlap), now I just wish I would have had it done 20 months ago, having a hamper in her room is so nice!
Check out the color blocks I made to use with Molly. I saw this idea to make you own on a blog that is no longer available. They are inspired by the Montessori Color boxes. They are so much cheaper to make a set on your own, almost free if you have stuff on hand. I used a piece of thin wood, cut and sanded. And then Mod Podged paint samples on to them. I made 2 of each color, so someday we can use it for a matching game as well. Right know, Molly loves to name the colors and stack them all up.

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! I know it's not Sunday, but we just got back from a wonderful weekend away. It was my birthday yesterday, (ah yes, I am now older) so took a long weekend and went camping, and yesterday my husband and I went to Chicago! It was so much fun, but I am glad to be back to an Internet connection! I realized I have a small (massive) addiction to the blog world.
