MONTESSORI HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEARNING (LEARN & LINK)



Do you have an educational post that is about your child and you would like to share? It can be a craft, a lesson, sport etc. that your child learned this week. You do not have to be a homeschooler to LINK up below - happy to have you join us! Then come back every Friday and continue to share your learn and link post! Please do not link up educational reviews - thanks!

This week is a very special Learn & Link in our home, my little guy turns 2 today! So our theme is a birthday theme.

I made him a Montessori birthday cake.

I had received a blog review of some frozen foods shipped to me in a Styrofoam cooler with dried ice, once I emptied it I saved the top of the cooler.  I decorated the top with Sharpies and then poked holes in the top. Then I took drinking straws and cut them in 3rds.

Then I gave my son the "cake" and the "candles" (straws) for him to place into the holes in the cake. He loved this. 

Plus we read some birthday books and put together the Melissa and Doug birthday cake.
 Happy Birthday to my sweet boy!
Link up and share your post this week!
