This week we've read more Halloween books, since she loves them. Little Goblins Ten is a fun counting book with lots of different monsters getting ready for Trick-or-Treat. Los Gatos Black on Halloween is mostly in English but introduces some interesting Spanish Halloween words like esqueletos, dedos, musica, momia, and tumbas. Genevieve loves Daniel Tiger so she got a new flip book, Happy Halloween Daniel Tiger, where he and his friends create costumes that are right for them. We read two bat books - Bats in the Band, which is part of a series of books that follows bats through different places and donates part of the proceeds to Bat Conservation International, and Littlebat's Halloween Story, where a young bat lives in the attic of a library and really wants to join storytime. Bedtime for Monsters is a fun book which builds suspense as the monster comes to get you - to get a goodnight kiss.
Genevieve has been enjoying some of the games and toys from her party. We built science kits for all her friends - including magnet wands, windchimes, a nature bag, magnifying glass, bubbles, glow-in-the-dark Playdoh and bouncy balls. She's been creating items out of the Playdoh and seeing how it glows. We've been blowing bubbles and decorating wind chimes. She also has been trying out her new magnifying cup. I made some different games based on PBS Kids shows for them to play at the party that she has also been playing. I made a maze to drive the Mars rover Boop to some water. I created a railroad for her to try to find the missing piece of track. We created a box to help sort her nature items.
She's also been enjoying some of her presents. She got a wooden railroad and has enjoyed putting it together. A friend got her a singing Elsa doll, so she has been singing Let It Go everywhere. She's been learning how to play some board games like Chutes and Ladders and Candyland. We have a new animal for bedtime - a Margret doll from Daniel Tiger along with some Daniel books. She got a toy I hadn't seen before as well. It's like a peg board with nice large colorful pegs to create pictures.
We ended the week with some time with grandparents and another friend's birthday party at a farm.
