Today I tried to do a variety pre-writing activities with Hattie. Unfortunately she was not even a little interested. Marking playdough with various instruments, poking toothpicks into things and even coloring-all boring. The most excitement came from throwing the pieces across the floor.
I did manage to scrub the kitchen floor - it was gleaming and free of all thrown food bits for once! And after dinner I brought a couple of plants inside to re-pot. Unfortunately I attempted to carry the pots and Hattie at the same time and disaster struck...but wait! Black dirt on a clean white floor is a perfect canvas for little fingers to make marks in!
Seriously, I didn't even initiate the idea. I was trying to keep her out of the mess when she scooted over and started making little lines in the dirt. So I sighed, then laughed and sat down to finally have some pre-writing play success.
