TRACING SHAPES!  We used the shapes from our Melissa and Doug beginner wooden pattern block toy to make our own shape creations.  It was fun to watch how Miss 3.75 yr old’s imagination really took off with this activity. Even Mr. 2 really liked this too, he mostly drew his own circle shapes though instead of tracing

BOO BOO GAME  Even superhero villains get boo-boos!  We find a picture (this time from a superhero book), draw it on butcher paper, tape it to the wall, then the boo-boo monster adds X’s to them, then the littles add dot stickers to cover the boo-boos like bandaids

  DOT STICKERS BOO-BOO GAME This game is on repeat in our house ALL the time.  We google and pick a fun picture (this time Spirit characters, like Lucky), draw it on butcher paper, use painters tape to tape it to the wall... then the “Boo-boo Monster” comes and puts boo-boo X’s all over them.  Then little Miss 3 uses dot stickers or the little rectangular yard sale stickers to fix all the boo-boos

  DOTS ALONG A LINE  This was a slight change to our usual dot stickers “boo boo game” - this time she had to put her dot stickers along Xs that were in a line and also along the roof/door frames.  So simple and so fun! Just a drawing of a house on butcher paper/craft paper, some brief explaining of the goal, and some dot stickers

BUBBLE DOT STICKERS Dot stickers are by far this girl’s favorite activity. Today is a Bubble Guppie bubble kind of day. Just a piece of butcher/craft paper, a google image redrawn plus little bubble circles added with a sharpie - then little miss added dot bubbles to each one! ' “Ta da”- as little miss would say

  FILLING BALLOONS We had to save Peppa Pig and George’s balloons... they were out of air and we had to put a matching color dot sticker inside to fill it up I googled a picture of Peppa Pig and George, drew it in black sharpie on a piece of butcher/craft paper, then added different color balloons and the strings to attach the balloons to their hands.  Then used some painters tape to temporarily attach this activity to the kitchen cabinet. Gave little Miss some dot stickers and explained the goal to fill the balloons and she got to work.

    FEED THE SNAKES this little one knows that momma does NOT like snakes, so she decided to feed them to make sure they wouldn’t be hungry and try to eat me dot stickers for the win again!  Just needed butcher paper, Avery dot stickers, markers that match the color of the dot stickers, and some tape.  We only fed the snakes dots that matched the snake color.  Good for developing matching skills and hand eye coordination! 

    DOT STICKER BAND-AIDS  Doc McStuffins is a new favorite in our house, so only fitting that Doc McStuffins needed to help fix her friend’s boo boos with some “band-aids”  All you need is butcher paper, Avery dot stickers, a marker, some tape, and a little imagination  I googled Doc McStuffins, found a picture of the characters, and did my best to draw outlines of the characters in black sharpie before hanging the picture up.  I also added "X" marks throughout the character bodies to represent the boo-boos.
