Kid Photographers - Art

We use many things to decorate the walls. Removable stickers in the kids' rooms, the kids' artwork in the playroom, family photos in the living room, etc. Here are the photos the kids have taken of these decorations.

I want to bring your attention to the calendar in the bottom two photos. While many people use this to practice counting and number recognition, I also add in patterning. Each day they have to predict which color and number will come next. We started with simple AB patterning. We have continued to increase the difficulty as they master one. In Sweet Daughter's photo it was the beginning of an ABAAB pattern. In Sweet Son's photo it was an AAB pattern. The most challenging one we have done so far was AB AABB AAABBB AAAABBBB. It took 2 months, but they finally got it. Not bad for a couple of preschoolers.
