They are from an old (25 years maybe) little wooden shapes set - you first match the shapes to the image of shapes on the card, then use those shapes to make the other image (the smaller grey one). the three cards in that picture are the first three in the set (of maybe 30?) she has moved on to the next three, and they get trickier as you go. Thank you- I've tried to make it as inviting as possible, and I regularly change things around, at least a little. The pictures on the wall were of some flowers (those have since been replaced with pictures of fresh and saltwater fish, butterflies, and animals with their young), and also a couple pages torn out from an old Putamayo calendar. (you aren't being nosy- that's what blogs are about, right? peeking into other people's worlds?)<br /><br />cheers!amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481345314712596782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-56031521040465719362013-02-06T10:37:34.147-05:002013-02-06T10:37:34.147-05:00Love all of these.

Her area is very inviting - what are the pics you have taped on the wall (nosy)?Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17523283813774455180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-27868423271232339812013-02-05T21:39:37.085-05:002013-02-05T21:39:37.085-05:00thanks, Nichole~ you are a huge inspiration in my ...thanks, Nichole~ you are a huge inspiration in my homeschooling(ish) efforts, I hope you know! I hadn't thought about changing out the contents to change the sound- great idea! that will come in handy when she (soon, probably) tires of them as is and is ready for something new. Since I set up this little space for her I've found myself looking at some of the more traditional practical life and sensorial works and have had a hard time picturing Claire really taking to them- or, more likely, think that she'll get bored with them easily. Things like pouring and transferring and what not. Or maybe ti's that those things were already incorporated in other play of ours before I decided to make a more 'formal' learning space. Anyway, it's so interesting to observe her and try to gauge her interests and passions and fine tune things to match those needs.<br /><br />Ha! In her little red and black tutu/leotard, right? <br />very sweet~ they'd be good playmates, I think. As would their mamas ;)<br /><br />amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481345314712596782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-57765591669964274832013-02-04T21:13:14.122-05:002013-02-04T21:13:14.122-05:00VERY sweet!!

You could even change up the sounds that the cylinders make by changing the contents inside, I suppose? <br /><br />Bea is my wild child and can most often be found running around the yard dressed inappropriately or perhaps not at all. But oftentimes, in the evening she'll get to work on "school work" and even ask for lessons. It's sweet. Tonight, one of the last things she said before she nodded off was "Mama, can I have some lessons tomorrow?" nicholehttp://www.livefree.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
