We have been into beading lately. It may be because I recently took out our stash of beads for the APG class and everyone got excited. Anyway, today we tried to bead a sentence using letter beads.
The set-up is easy. For us, we had an assortment of beads and buttons. BB was depositing buttons into the piggy bank while PK and I made sentences on pipe cleaners. When he is more interested, maybe I can introduce the letter names and sounds to him.
This is the first sentence she made. Of course it has to be "I love you". Its a great wind-down sensory play activity. Fits into our after-school afternoon perfectly.
