The puzzle tray was replaced with a containers and lids activity after I took the picture.  Like his nice bruise?  He had a disagreement with a feed trough in the barn.
He did really well and learned to remove and replace the two piece canning lids.  Of course it was fun to see what other pieces fit together.

We learned the ASL signs for star, moon, and yellow. We did “circle time” for the first time and he LOVED it! More on that later. I hung a couple more hooks in the kitchen within his reach so he has a place to put his bib if it’s clean enough to use again.

    1. I cut a sponge in to a star shape for him to use. I normally wouldn’t mess with his art but this time when he was done I did dab stars on the ones that didn’t show a definite shape, just so the writing would make sense. I taped the cards down in a cake pan so they wouldn’t slide around and get stuck together. 🙂
