Playing in the sandbox is one of my kids' favorite things to do. I received a set of uppercase and lowercase letters awhile back and they have just been sitting in the craft closet awaiting a creative lightbulb to go off in my head. Yesterday before going outside I asked the boys if they would like to go on a treasure hunt. After making various pirate noises that I took as a "yes," we headed to the sandbox. A very simple, but fun game of "dig up the letters" ensued. My favorite part was Diego trying to teach Mateo his letters and Mateo happily repeating whatever Diego said just so happy to be included in the game.
And it's things like this that make me wish we still had a sand box, but it just wasn't doing well at our house.....
ReplyDeleteHow fun. Yesterday Anna decided that foam letters will make excellent band aids for her sick babies which she made out of Tinkertoys :)
