Coins

Coins! We've worked on coins before but it didn't seem to stick. I'm realizing that much of this parenting/teaching thing just means to introduce topics over and over and in different ways. It's ok if they don't get it the first time, or if it seems it goes over their head.

So Emmett did coin rubbings and wrote the coin names.
Eisley pulled coins out of her putty (basically silly putty). The two year olds tried to do the coin rubbings but it didn't work very well. That's ok! They still have fun being part of the group.

And I finished my pillow, following THIS fabulous tutorial.

Amazing concentration required for this fine motor activity. The pillow is most charming. A textural delight.
