Last weekend we were at Target and found some foam stickers of the letters and numbers. We pulled out some sticker books (filled with waxed paper so you can remove the stickers later), and let the kids play with them.
This is how Miranda arranged her stickers.
She liked peeling the paper backing from the stickers, and she arranged them all around the page.
This is how Eleanor arranged her stickers.
Eleanor’s obsessions with circles, clocks, and stars (anything arranged in a radiating pattern) shows through. She had more trouble with the backing of the stickers, so she asked Miranda to peel them for her. I told her she needed to do it herself, and she figured out the trick.
