I can't play CDs while she's asleep because headphones hurt my ears, so my only opportunity is in the late afternoon. Lately though, she has been taking late naps (and we're usually out in the mornings), which means no opera for me.<BR/><BR/>Brit - If I lived within sight of QBG, I'd do there frequently I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>Nina - That's the same <I>Puff the Magic Dragon</I> we have (which includes a CD with the PP&M song among a few others). Eliza's 3rd birthday present from Chris and me was dragon-themed: a few books and a pair of stuffed dragons, and this was part of it. Since that week, I've checked out more dragon-themed books (that aren't scary) from the library, so I plan to put together a dragon book post before I have to return them. As for <I>Slow & Steady...</I>, I don't remember to open it most weeks.chanalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844723778381933834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419942004907179149.post-30118217384513366062007-11-07T12:33:00.000-08:002007-11-07T12:33:00.000-08:00Your presentation of the learning notes is wonderf...Your presentation of the learning notes is wonderful. I like your focus on the arts. I need to check out the Carnival of the Animals. I think we had it once before but it didn't catch her interest. My dd isn't as imaginative as E. I can't imagine her acting out the parts. <BR/><BR/>Your outside outings taunt this sad upper midwesterner. We have had blustery winds and rain for the past week.<BR/><BR/>Love the photo of Eliza in the bamboo garden. <BR/><BR/>Have you seen the new Puff the Magic Dragon Book with the CD. Here is the link to amazon.<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Puff-Magic-Dragon-Peter-Yarrow/dp/1402747829/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-5288531-9394221?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1194467344&sr=1-1<BR/><BR/>I haven't pulled out my copy of Slow and Steady in a while. I've been such a slacker in that area. We didn't have much success with the ball bouncing activity either.

The picture book to accompany it was very well done, I thought.<BR/><BR/>As for <I>MathArts</I>, we just started getting into it last month. It's marked for ages 3-6, and I'd say at least a third of the activities are good for 3-year-olds. The garland activity she really enjoyed, and I liked that it's no-waste since we've redone it a few times with the same pipe cleaners. Most of the 3-year-old activities deal with patterns, matching, counting to 3, etc., so it's very low key and leans more toward art than math.<BR/><BR/><I>ScienceArts</I> looks fun, too, but we haven't been able to make much use out of it yet since it's for ages 3-12, and relatively few activities are suitable for 3-year-olds.chanalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844723778381933834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419942004907179149.post-48242407930497528342007-11-05T16:08:00.000-08:002007-11-05T16:08:00.000-08:00I've had my eye on Carnival of the Animals for qui...I've had my eye on Carnival of the Animals for quite awhile now, so was thrilled to read that Eliza enjoys it so much. I thought the pipe cleaner activity looked like fun- guess I'd better add Math Arts to my Wish List.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01880283983722293805noreply@blogger.com
