New skill mastered. Under five minutes. Practicing and refining those fine motor skills, hand eye coordination and problem solving skills.
She learnt to knit in less than five minutes. Better than most adults I know :)
Also, notice the awesome giant needles? I’ve been searching everywhere for a big enough set (special project in mind), but the etsy ones are expensive. I even knitted on chunky wooden spoons for a bit :) today we found these funky red ones for a bargain $2. Thrift shop find of the week!
Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting this delightful puppet.
Meet Grandpa Gratitude.
He lives at LeeLee’s school.
Each day during circle time, Grandpa Gratitude comes to visit. He asks each child, in turn, what they are grateful for that day.
At the end they all sing the special song together (I posted a video of Annaleise singing it the other day, accompanied by the lyrics).
What a beautiful ritual!
