Last week my Mustangs worked on the letter S. I couldn’t resist having a little fun with some Skittles . . . you know, because we’ve only been sick for a month, are already rowdy WILD Mustangs, extra Sugar is a great idea :0
*Tucker was pouting at this point in the day (he does that frequently) so he chose not to be apart of this activity – He was upset he didn’t get to eat them first.
I gave Trevor a cup full of skittles. First I had him spoon them (with an IKEA baby spoon) into a heart shaped ice-cube tray. I tried to get him to make a pattern with them. Then I had him use mini-tongs (also from IKEA) to take them out.
Next I gave him the same cupcake wrappers from our heart activities & had him count skittles into them. We also made a letter S with them. Then he ate them!
Big brother was NOT about to let the little guys have all the fun, so he used them to spell his spelling words out with. *By the looks of this picture he also did a little taste testing.
