School Time

We really haven't been doing as much

'traditional' school lately.  It has

been much more hands on and 

unschooling in nature.  I think both

have there place, and hanging out

at the Smithsonian is far more

interesting to O than learning about

the letter H.

We did have some downtime the other

day, so we pulled out our Cuisenaire Rods

(again).  We made a few letters and then

tried to think of words that begin

with those letters.  Can you tell what we made?

Hats, heart, hammer, house, and a happy face.

Then we tried making buildings without

a large base.  Tricky for adults.  Even

trickier for little hands.

Another tall tower.

We tried using all the rods.  We knocked

it down with 2 left.

More Building.

I found a recipe for Play Dough using

1/2 cup glue and 1 cup cornstarch.

I thought since it was cornstarch it

would feel fluffier.

It was a sticky mess.  It took quite some

time for me to get it off the table.

Another fail for play dough.  I am not

sure why I keep trying to find new

recipes.  The one I have words really

well, and last a long time.
