Although its hard to imagine, right now, him being focused enough to sit still and do a lot of these! We're moving to Texas September 8th. At least we'll still have blogs etc :) My favorite Crafty website is Chasing CHeerios: http://chasingcheerios.blogspot.com/

We never really have magazines around here but they could always cut out the grocery adds, and I'm sure they would love it! It would be fun making an alphabet out of the letters they see in the adds too:) Nicole, I like your idea of adding pictures. So did Morgan do one too? It's always interesting to me to see how differently the kids involve themselves in the projects that I have them do. Aidan is getting to the age where he loves it all, Guenna wants my complete attention and wants to do it all, Eamon just isn't quite there yet and that's okay. Fun ideas!

I let Elizabeth cut strips out of a brown paper grocery bag. I helped her staple them together (which normally she does herself but the stapler we had to use here at the Stol's was really hard to push down) to make one big long banner. I wrote the alphabet out like you did and she cut them out. I did two alphabets though upper case and lower case. Then we stapled them in order but left a space between the upper and lower case letters. Then she drew a picture of an object that started with the letters in the space between the upper and lower case letter. A (picture of an apple) a B (picture of a balloon) b ...etc. She only drew pictures until G then it was time to move on. She spend a lot of time on it. We'll continue adding pictures as she shows interest. I'll have to take a picture of her creation. It's so fun watching our children learn and grow. You should see if your library has a book on tape called The Chocolate touch. It's about and hour and half long. My girls (two older) really enjoyed it. In fact longer books on tape might be a really great help to you as you get closer to your due date to keep the kids occupied with something other then destroying the house. Not that your little angels would do such a thing! You inspired me. I let Elizabeth cut strips out of a brown paper grocery bag.

That's fun too. Sometimes we let our boy cut out letters and pictures of kitties and dogs and stuff from magazines (ones already heading for the recycling pile) and glue them onto construction paper.
