The summer has finally hit us so lots of water activities are on our planner! This fishing game i set up for Tara to practice her letters with.There are milk bottle lids that i have glued a magnet onto (make sure its the inner side of the lid so it floats) and on the outer side used permanent marker to write letters on. She used a magnetic fishing rod to fish for a lid and then turned it over and told me the letter on it. 
I made up some laminated cards with a photo and word on them that were meaningful to Tara and she used the lids to match the letters on her cards. 
I played with her with my two cards and she had her two cards and we saw who could finish their card first just like bingo
After Tara realised some of her pet rocks were in need of repairs we got out our stash of googly eyes and were looking at the different sizes.
It was Tara that surprised me with her knowledge of "medium" so we went on to sort "small "medium" and "large" eyes into little cups. It goes to show that our children really are listening to every word we speak. Though i have never explained to her what medium was she had heard it and worked it out herself.
