Becky sent us this activity: Find all the lady bugs…or all the elephants, trains, babies, or clouds. Using your child’s puzzles, toys and books, find all the examples you have of a single subject matter.
“It’s interesting to compare the ways different illustrators depict the same thing,” wrote Becky, “and I think it helps children to learn to see various examples of trains in all the different contexts.”
I pointed out to Julian that three of his different stuffed animals are all frogs and lined them up sitting next to each other. He seemed both intrigued and amused.

We did this last night with a stuffed pig and some picture book pigs and I think Holden was a little surprised.
What a fabulous idea! I am going to call my sis-in-law and tell her to do this with my nephew - really cool!
