We have been busy here at the Scheer home! Having just finished our third Foster Adoption in 5 years, we are ready to raise our three wonderful children!!! I have LOVED teaching them "pre-school" at home! I really like doing the creative fun things with them and seeing their personalities come out in what they do! Awhile back I saw a great idea online for making a "sewing" box for kids! I loved the idea and went and made one! I got each child their own hoop and bought a roll of shelf liner. Some big buttons and shoe laces and they were having a ball!
It takes some effort to push the shoe lace through the holes of the shelf liner and that is just what our little R needs to help strengthen her hands! The great thing is that she thinks its a game!
I also bought some cheese shakers and pipe cleaners and wooden spools and balls. They loved threading the spools and balls onto the pipe cleaners! Great for those fine motor skills!!!!
I saw another idea online too and thought "hey! I have everything I need to do this one!" so I sat the kids down and told them we would be making "Play dough MONSTERS!" They soaked that up and got all excited! I gave them each some Play dough, wiggly eyes, popsicle sticks and misc beads! Here are their creations!
R named her monster "Jo-Jo" :)
H said her monster's name was "Moopsy"
B said his monster's name was "Astro"!
They had a great time with this activity and it was fun to watch them create!
With Father's day coming up, I wanted to do something cool for Dan. He so ROCKS at being a daddy! So a few weeks ago I bought T shirts and the kids made him shirts! I thought FOR sure they would get messed up or not work. But somehow (I am still not sure how), they turned out GREAT! I used iron on letters and one shirt said "Ruthie's Dad", another said "Hannah's Dad" and another said "Ben's Dad". Then the kids used fabric pens and drew on them! (they turned out so good, we made more shirts to wear to court for R's adoption court date!!!) Well since they were so good I could not WAIT to give them to dad!!! So we gave them to daddy!
This last week I thought I needed to come up with something else for Father's Day. And I found just the idea online!!! And here it is! (forgive the glare)
Yep! It is my kids, spelling out the word "DAD" It turned out SO great! I found the frame at Michael's for $12 and the black and white is my favorite! Now I know it is STILL not Father's day, but I am just NOT use to things I try working out the FIRST time I do them! So AGAIN Dan got his Father's day gift early!!!!! I could not help it! No worries, Dad loves his gifts AND the nice new drill we got him!!! He has been wearing the kids shirts non stop since we gave them to him!
I am LOVING having all my children LEGALLY ours! Such a load off our shoulders!
We are blessed!
