Our trip to Michaels

Ok, so call me slow or seemingly the one out of the loop — but I had know idea that Michaels, the arts and craft store, had so much variety at such a great cost. I purchased a number of items since Jadyn kept throwing all kinds of things in the basket. She managed to get a boa and a princess hat in there without me noticing, until we hit the cashier. She is so sneaky…and she’s only 2! My goodness!

Well, the real reason we went to Michaels, was to find some different colored paper. We’ve been introducing Jadyn to her colors but she seems to think everything is pink! So, I came across some different colored felt fabric. I grabbed all the colors off the shelf and bounded them together to form a book. I am proud to report that Jadyn knows all of her primary colors and more. I found that the books with different colored animals and shapes weren’t as effective, so I needed something with less distraction. The felt fabric did the trick. Also, try cutting out felt shapes in many colors, it’s a good way to introduce shapes too.
