Red Bird

Our time spent on "Red Bird" wasn't as great as the previous week. I was sick for 10 days with a head cold, and so that kind of made it hard to get to it every day. I didn't spend as much time on "bird" as I did "red", so I will review birds with him as the weeks go by. He can say his version of Red and a bird is "twwee tweee" (Tweet tweet). So we will work on that still too! We red "Our Nest is Best" which had birds in it, and of course, "Brown Bear Brown Bear!"

Here is our sensory bin of red objects in bird seed.

We colored with red crayons and markers. He LOVED the marker! We also practiced putting on red stickers, which he kept asking for "mo!" (More)

 He got to explore the red bin. He wasn't sure about the bird seed at first, but by the end, he thought throwing it in the air was pretty fun. Oh boy. 

 We used dot markers to color in a bird. He really liked using this too. So we colored his other bird sheet with the dot marker too.

 We practiced stringing red beads. This will be a work in progress. I plan to try this every week just to work on some motor skills.

 We played with the red bin again, except this time OUTside. :)

 Here is our "Red Bird" lunch.

 We worked on making a red bird craft. He was getting a little feisty during this craft because he wanted to play with the glue stick and not really stick things on the glue. But we finished it up quickly. :)

 We then made a red hat! 

 He kept looking in the mirror and saying "Hi Jace" and laughing. He apparently thought the red hat was pretty funny.

 We painted a "bird house" red! (Notice the red paint on his mouth… he first tried to eat it!) 

 He then wanted to paint a piece of paper.

 And that quickly turned into finger painting.

 Jace helped me put bird seed in our bird house for the non-existent birds we have in our yard, since we have no trees, no real grass, no watering system, no plants…. And then the bird house fell down by the end of the night. Haha. Fail. 

 We drank special red milk. 

These things lasted about a week and half, so this week has been very chill. We will pick it up again next week!
