A Tip for Getting Your Child to Learn Important Information

One thing that I used to do with both of my kids was role playing and teaching through song. When Ashleigh was old enough to learn to sing songs somewhat, I taught her to spell her name to a melody. With my son, I did the same. I took the melody of a simple song like Skip to My Lou to spell Hunter. (Hun-ter, Hun-ter, Hun-ter...that's how you spell Hunter).

In order to learn their address and phone number, we would play Pizza Delivery. I would be the Pizza Place and they would pretend to call and order a pizza. I would say, "Hello...Pizza Palace can I take your order?" They would then pretend to hold a phone and say what kind of pizza they wanted. I would then say, "Okay, but I need your name." We would keep practicing until they knew their name, number, and address!

Quilled Pointe Shoe

My daughter took Pointe this year at dance and being the end of the year, I wanted to make a special thank you card for the staff.  I drew the outline for the shoe and then filled the spaces with 1/8 width quilling paper.

Another Ornament for Christmas

I found some more ornaments in my closet of craft stuff while cleaning this summer.  Obviously my cleaning didn't get very far being so delighted with my new discovery!  I found a cute clip art a while back of some holly leaves, so I thought about how I could do it inside the ornament.  After a few minutes, I was ready to start.  After gluing two leaves together, I gently pushed them inside.  I then used a plastic butter knife to keep them lying flat and let them dry.  I then added the third leaf.
