I've been slowly assembling our activities box for this past month and I think I'm ready (I really hope I'm ready!). Behold:
Starting at the top left, clockwise:
- Binders with coloring pages, alphabet games, mazes, blank faces, and a map so we can track our progress. Teacher's binder is the giant blue one propping them up (I printed out the internet for that thing).
- Audio books on CD
- Berenstain bears collection (girls love the series, these they haven't read)
- Audio books with picture books
- Kids' kindles with headphones: these have more animated books, a couple seasons of Daniel Tiger downloaded, some of their favorite YouTube series (How It's Made!), and some preschool games
- Brain Quest cards for Pre-K and K
- Playdough (tools not shown but definitely included)
- Ladybug counting game
- (directly above) Bug catcher + magnifier
- Capital/lower case alphabet puzzle
- Mini globe: so we can continue our geography classes
- Magnetic shapes and puzzle cards
- CD players for audio books
- Puzzle sticks. These have pictures of the girls glued onto sticks then cut up for fun matching
- Rhyme puzzles (shark/park, cat/hat, etc)
- Geometric puzzle sticks. Velcro dots on the sticks so the kids can put together as many weird shapes as they want.
- Spelling box
- MORE BOOKS - these are actually ours
- MORE BOOKS - on Brazil (our newest country), yoga (they want to join me), sticks (sticks are cool), and a random other assortment based on things they've expressed interest in recently.
- School books: math, reading, logic, geography and anatomy
Whew! And that doesn't include the stuff we're bringing for when we're not driving: kites, bug/bottles, pump rockets... the girls are going to have a blast.
For the babies we have fewer new things, but we're trying to time our driving to match their naps so that makes sense. Also, anything is a toy to them.
It seems like a lot but I'm planning to split the activities in half so they get new stuff on our way back home too. It's so nice to have goals... ;)
