Ever since I discovered that I could use the Montessori method at home I have been at it. In love every step of the way to make playing with Anika intentional, fun, fun, educational and did mention...fun! Today, at work during lunch I put together her very first personalized alphabet book! I had SO much fun doing this. By the time I got it printed, laminated and spiral bound, it was close to Anika's bedtime. But hey! that didn't take away from the absolute curiosity and thrill she got from looking at the picture book.
Here are some pages from her book!
Anika was so psyched by it! She sat for more than 20 minutes just flipping pages. I could have just got a hard bound picture book made but she still keeps everything in her mouth and experiments with tearing pages and tossing them across the room which is why just taking print outs in regular A4 and then laminating them was right for us!
We were both entralled by this activity and I didn't even think of grabbing my camera. Maybe I will add those in later.
Don't forget to check out the fabulous blogs up on my blogroll that link out to mom's, experts and wonderful women who teach me to be a better mom by example.
Update: Here's a picture of the little one immersed in her book!
