Preschool Alphabet Activity
We have a seriously love of all things dino around here. Pteranodon flying. Giganotosaurus roaring. Brachiosaurus leaf eating. You get the point.
We also get a lot of egg hatching. As in Maddy curls up in a ball pretending to hatch out of an egg followed by running around roaring, squawking or screeching like a baby dinosaur.
It’s pretty awesome. A little noisy, but pretty stinkin’ awesome. Cute. Adorable. Fun. You get the point.
D is for dinosaur. Also d is for dinosaur. Dinosaur, dinosaur, dinosaur.

Cute!
At what age did the girls really get into crafting? Despite all my attempts with Molly and Peyton to color and paint and draw and play chalk, they mainly like to eat the art supplies like the chalk, crayons, etc. I am hoping they come around one of these days!
Thinking back I think they started coloring around 18 months without trying to eat the crayons. We made salt dough hand prints when Maddy was about 15 months old and it was a tough time to get her to stop trying to eat the paint.
