Cloth vs. Disposables Revisited

We recently went on a 2 week trip and I had to switch to disposables since it was difficult to wash diapers while we were gone. The ease of the disposables had me asking myself again why we use cloth diapers. Is it because it's more environmentally friendly or because they're safer for the baby or because it's cheaper?

(You may be surprised at my conclusion!)

Colour Book

Taking 3 pieces of paper, I folded them in half and sewed them together down the crease to create a little booklet. As we learned each colour, we coloured the next page of the book using only colouring utensils of that colour. 

Learning Shapes with a Block Puzzle

My boys enjoyed this block shape puzzle. I made it using a piece of cardboard. I traced each block I wanted to use with the a corresponding colour and coloured it in. It was so simple and easy to make and my boys really enjoyed the challenge of matching the shapes.

Learning Shapes while Painting

This painting project was really fun!

I found this idea on mess for less through Pinterest.

Eye-Spotted Lady Beetle

I have never noticed a ladybug like this before. It really surprised me. The white rings around its black spots are unique to this species.

Colour Collage Booklet

I prepared for these booklets by cutting out pictures of things of that colour from magazines ahead of time.

Cut and Paste Colour Booklet

I made a few little booklets by folding three 8 1/2" x 11" pieces of paper in half and with a needle and thread sewing down the middle.
