Letter O

This week LB chose the letter "O" to practice. So I decided to craft an orange octopus and make an ocean in a bottle. It was fun!

I attempted to let LB practice cutting with scissors. Mistake. That takes WAY more patience than I was capable of yesterday. (And those snowman scissors led to a big tantrum about watching "Frosty the snowman" on the 1st day of JULY!)

Lily's Orange Octopus

This is an activity I'd seen on pinterest a lot and something I'd been meaning to try. I thought it would give LB a little break after the frosty-trantrum. It wasn't as fun as she wanted it to be. In fact, she got frustrated that the colors weren't mixing more. 

LB has weaker hands so mashing these around was hard work. I think we'll try it again but hand it on the window. I hung it up during lunch time just to get it out of the way and the colors were SO pretty. I think it would be easier for her and a good OT exercise for her arms. 

Ocean in a bottle!
