30 Days to Hands on Play

Today's post, and the post for the next thirty days, comes from:

The Imagination Tree

http://theimaginationtree.com/2011/11/30-days-to-hands-on-play-challenge.html


I have been searching for new activities to do with EV and have taken on this challenge. I will post pictures of our fun and adventures! 


Day One Challenge: 

Set Goals, Identify Good Attributes about your children.


Well, my goals are :


  • To spend "unplugged" time with EV that allows me to focus on her and have her know that I love her. 
  • Enrich her development and learning. 
  • Grow together as a family.
EV's Attributes:

  • Kind
  • Brave
  • Loyal
  • Helpful
  • Friendly
  • Reverent
  • Irreverent
  • Funny
  • Imaginative
  • Inquisitive
  • Wonderful
  • Energetic
  • Loving
Just to name a few! 

I am also going to add to this challenge an art project to do with her, that will combine my goals to have up and displayed. 

Wish me luck!

UPDATE: For the past month I have been sick with a cough and sinus block so I put this on hold for now, but will start back up in August. :D
