Squeaks and Tink making their caterpillars. It was fun to watch them paint and then “feed” their caterpillars just like in the book.
Squeaks and I began attending a small music class every Monday when I was still pregnant with Little Dude. It’s super fun to get out of the house, watch her jump around and sing with other kids (or sometimes cling to my leg, depending on her mood) and make tons of noise playing a variety of instruments (she always loves that part). Over time we have made friends with the other kids and moms who attend each week and have enjoyed play dates, outings, and birthday parties as a group.
Recently we have added learning activities to our repertoire of mom skills. I’ve been semi-homeschooling Squeaks for a few weeks, just taking it slow, maybe 30-40 min a day. The last few weeks we’ve gotten to add some friends! Squeaks best friend, we’ll call her Tinkerbell (maybe Tink for short) has joined us for a few fun letter C and E activities (her mamma was out of town for D, but that’s the awesome flexibility of homeschool!). We made “Very Hungry Caterpillars” from egg cartons, read the book together, and “fed” our caterpillars all while counting, learning colors, and building listening skills. (I got the idea here.)

Our Eye Spy Game
This last week we had two more friends join us and we played an exciting game of Eye Spy (a mini lesson on the five senses to go with the letter E). They loved it! It was a bit of a twist on the traditional version of the game where someone has to guess the specific object you’re looking at. Instead we asked the littles to find any object in the room that matched certain criteria; soft, round, red, etc. We put a little star sticker in the box when each kiddo found an object matching the description. It was a blast!
The Eye Spy game sheet I made is free in our Printables Library.
