B is for butterfly snack

Better late than never!!!

I am finally getting around to posting the very simple butterfly snack we made. I ended up eating it because my son won't usually touch anything new. It was yummy!!

B is for butterfly...

I used peanut butter but if allergies are an issue, cream cheese or flavored cream cheese work well too. You could also use icing.
You need:
celery
peanut butter
pretzels


I used broken pieces of pretzels for the antenna but I am sure you could use pieces of string twizzlers (pull and peel) or something else.

This picture turned out terrible... but it shows the idea, anyways! Bon appetite!

Let the Fun Begin!!

Tomorrow marks the day that I would be going back to work after a nice relaxing summer. I am so honored that I now, instead, get to stay home and plan for my son, rather than a class of other students! Do not get me wron, I LOVED my 8 years of teaching experience and I would not trade it for anything, but that season is now over. Let this new journey begin! 

I have a plan for how I plan on working with my son, Tristan. He is only 2 1/2 so our time frame will be limited due to his attention span, but it is amazing how much can be accomplished in 10-15 minutes! I can't wait to share those things with you! 

THE PLAN

My plan is to go through the alphabet A-Z. Each week we will work on one letter. This is not meant to be regimented by any means, but yet fun and educational. 

I plan do have crafts, snacks and adventures for each letter! This should be enjoyable for everyone involved! I hope to be able to also give insight on how to make things a little more challenging or easier depending on your child's needs. I hope to be able to work up to entire units. But for now, lets start with the letter A. :)

Let the FUN begin!!!
