Both my girls love flowers, so I knew today's
Mother Goose Time lesson would be a hit. We looked at our letter F cards and then set out the flower on one end of the room and the letter F on the other side. I put cotton balls all over the flower and the girls used tongs to pick up a cotton ball, run to the other side, and pollinate the letter F. We talked about how flowers attract insects to the plants to pollinate them. They played this for a very long time. At first I had them try taking turns, but Elli didn't really understand that she needed to wait, so eventually it just turned into a free for all.
After they were sufficiently exhausted, they used the pattern blocks and shape mats to create flowers.
If you could be a flower, what color would you want to be? Addie said purple, and Elli pointed to the purple and red paint. They created their own flower costumes, complete with flower headband and leaf hands. Then we danced to the dance n' beats DVD.

We also completed the my little journal letter F page and Addie did her workbooks. We didn't finish all the activities planned for today, since the girls spent so much time playing the pollination game and then dancing. It's always a good lesson when your kids don't want to stop.
