The wheels on the bus go round and round all through the ___________. Right! Town. What town to we live in ?? Boise! We talked about Boise and played Bounce the Ball on Boise with a letter on each card. Li'l bro helps.
Then we played a twister version.
From a Highlights or High Five Magazine came the template for Paperbag Town. We cut out the door, window and sign for a library, diner, grocery store, preschool, bank and, of all things, pharmacy. We glued them on to lunch sacks. Then we stuffed each sack "building" with a wad of newspaper, stapled it shut, put it on the "street." When we finished, it occurred to me that we were missing an important building...the church! We drew it by hand a named it St. Mary's. Fun project, interesting discussion. Additional buildings and scenery could be easily added. Great pretend play!
Discussing the church architecture with Nini (grandmother).
Afterward, we went downtown and walked through the capitol building. Granted, the excitement is riding the elevator, but she can spot the capitol from any vista. It is a great space to love!
