I cut out the mouse face, arms and overalls from cardstock and used yarn for whiskars, and black beans for eyes and chocolate chips to add some texture. Anastasia really LOVED this craft! It was really torture for her to wait for the glue to dry! We printed the "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" shadow matching game and the cookie matching game from the Homeschool Share Page. We don't really know our numbers, but this is a fun way to learn. Cookies make everything fun don't they?

More Mice
Because of our cats death, and I's party and all the other insanity in our lives last week, school fell to the wayside. So I am picking up where I left off and doing "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" crafts this week. Today we made mouse puppets from a paper bag:

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie
Our book this week is If You Give A Mouse A Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeron. I remember loving this book as a kid, so it is pretty great reading it to my kids. Unfortunately we had a rough time of "school" today, as both girls, and myself were quite cranky. We did do the obvious though, and baked some chocolate chip cookies.
Even I did her part in the clean-up:
Look at how determined she is! Haha. Actually, I wasn't going to do school at all this week just because I's first birthday is coming up on Saturday and I have so much cleaning, decorating and prepping to do... so I hope having a line-up of activities will buy me a little time to get some tasks completed. Here are a couple resources for If You Give A Mouse A Cookie activities:I also added a few activity trays that I will hopefully share with you all later this week! For now I leave you with a coloring page. Happy Monday!
