Whatever we have on hand. I keep a sticker box with misc. stickers in it that we have collected over time. We have little birthday cakes to represent birthdays, sunshine to represent picnic days, etc...

I'm so glad I found your blog! A friend recommended this to me and as a fellow CM lover, I just had to check it out. I will be following a lot of your suggestions for my daughter this year! I am wondering, though, if you can elaborate just a little on the calendar part of the day. I'm not sure I know what you mean for that particular part. Thanks for all the great info!
ReplyDeleteAnon,
ReplyDeleteAt the beginning of each month I write the name of the month on the calendar in big, neat bold writing. We decorate the top too usually with a seasonal theme.
Then, each day I write the date on the dry erase board quite large and have my child trace it in the air. Then she writes the number in the approp. box. I show her exactly where to put it. That's all.
Unless I have a child with advanced fine motor skills at this stage who loves to write, I fill in the numbers for the weekend myself.
If your child can't seem to write out the number at all, make ink dots for her to follow in the box in the shape of the number.
We also put stickers on special days to make it interesting and colorful.
Does that clarify?
