The Messy Mama Brain Dump is a feature where I talk about anything and everything related to parenting, being a mom, and kids.
Every week I alternate between: Colors, ABC's, numbers/counting, animals, emotions/feelings, body parts, and shapes.
I will TRY to post this every week, but we'll see how that goes.
🦔 WEEK 2: November 10–14
Monday – Shapes
Theme: “Harvest Shapes”
Build barns, tractors, or turkeys out of shapes.
Sort different shapes into “field baskets.”
Go on a shape hunt around the house.
Tuesday – Alphabet
Letter of the Day: B for Barn
Make “B” with building blocks.
Paint or color a big red barn and trace the letter B on it.
Find things that start with B: ball, book, banana.
