a little crafty

Just a quick post...

Today, Kennedy made a shape necklace. I wanted to make a heart necklace but we ran out of time before Valentine's Day, so I had planned on doing an Easter one. But today, she wanted to cut and I thought, ok....lets cut shapes. So she cut shapes- triangles, flower, rectangle, octagon, pentagon, stars, etc. and then put them on string. We learnt about patterns and she went back and forth between shape, straw, shape straw. She really enjoyed it because she was able to do it herself rather than the craft we tried this morning that she is not ready for. She's rather proud of her necklace. She learnt what a pattern is and used those fine motor skills by threading the straws and paper on the string.

and, no, she doesn't use those big scissors. I was cutting up the straws.
