What's In the Mother Goose Time Box? Part Four

Three bags down, 21 left to go.  No I am not kidding.  There are 24 packages to open in your first Mother Goose Time kit.  Its like Christmas morning, but a little more work because there are a TON of things to cut out.  A lot of them are punch out, but a lot of them require cutting.  But I am not going to go over every single bag so this will not take forever.

Santa's Workshop Celebration Kit
Let us start with the Celebration Kit.  I don't know if each month has a Celebration Kit or not, but because it is Christmas they sent me a Santa's Workshop Celebration Kit.  It is obviously intended more for a classroom setting, and comes with an invitation (which looks pretty sad since I only get a kit for one child LOL) and guest sign in sheet.  Maybe we will invite Grandma, and the girls will be on Christmas Break when we do this, so they can participate.  Anyways, it comes with supplies for one craft, a snack, two games, special Circle Time activities, and some ideas for your Investigation Stations, which we will probably use.  It also has the pieces necessary for the games and art project.

Week One (well days 2-5, because we already did day 1) plus the book
from day 5
Most of the bags are the daily bags.  Every day has its own bag for each child.  This makes it quick and easy to grab what you need and stay organized.  Each daily bag has a theme poster to hang up on your Circle Time display, craft pieces and instructions (they do a craft almost every day!), and the materials you need to play the games and do the activities for the week.

Week 2
For example the first day has a family newsletter for preschools, instructions for a drum prop (the instructions are on little slips of paper that would make it really easy to save them for future use), rhythm pattern cards, supplies for the drum prop, and name tags (each month I think the children make new name tags, which is a really good, simple way to keep track of handwriting improvements).

Week 3
They include other things some days, like on day three the children get a journal.  On day five you get a full length story book related to the theme.  Day 14 comes with an I Can Read book.


Week 4
The amazing thing is that between the manipulatives, the games and supplies included and the books, you are building up an incredible library of learning activities that your family can use for years.  The only problem I am going to have, is where I can store all of this stuff so its safe AND accessible.
Everything that came in my first box from Mother Goose Time!!!!  Well except day 1.

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...

Manipulatives Monday GIVEAWAY from Mother Goose Time - closed

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news!  Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time  is giving away a great prize!  One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives!  Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house.  Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts.  The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways.  During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters.  These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites.  They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...
