Helper Dads

This months Mother Goose Time theme is baby animals.  Day 3 was about helper dads.  We played a game that worked on color recognition and counting.  The girls would roll the pocket cube, move their piece to the corresponding color, and then collect the correct number of baby seahorse cards.  Once they both made it home they added up all their seahorse cards to see who had the most.  
We talked about the different things moms and dads do to help their kids.  The girls used the look and find classes to find different items on the monthly theme poster.  On the back of each glass are activities to do, like count the bunnies, or swing like a monkey.  
For today's invitation to create the girls were given a paper plate, tissue paper, paint, glue, and paper.  Elli asked me to cut her plate in a seahorse shape, but Addie was able to cut her own.  They love the invitations to create, they keep them entertained and busy for a while while they come up with ways to use the materials.  
We finished up with a book.
