Placemats

Since Lily began school we have a ton of placemats that have come home that she has made. She loves to use a different one at each meal, which is fine, until Emma wants one. Lily is wonderful in sharing them with Emma but I feel bad that she doesn't have one of her own, so we made some.

I got a posterboard pack of 5 different colors perfect size for placemats. I wrote their name in the middle and their entire name at the bottom. They got to draw and put stickers all over the front to decorate it and they loved every second of it.

But, I wasn't done. I did some teacher stuff on the back. Simple stuff for Emma, just pictures and words to help identify and expose her to the words. Lily, though, I did little matching blocks. And, she loves, loves, loves it. I think it's due to her using a dry erase marker, but who cares. She wanted to skip bath with Emma tonight and take a shower because she was so busy doing her placemat.

Love how she is tracing right over the letters of her name! Hopefully we can transfer to paper and the practicing will help stay in those lines on the paper. She loves this so very much that I'm in the process of making her a little book using page protectors :) Gotta love the dry erase markers!
