Logan's Playgroup Project

I've been busy all week on a project that I thought would take a single afternoon. It turned out to be a 3 1/2 day endeavor! I should've known better because that always happens to me. I'm too much of a perfectionist which can sometimes be a great thing and sometimes extremely frustrating! Last September, I helped arrange and organize a weekly playgroup for Logan where the mothers take turns teaching a letter of the alphabet. When it's her week, the mom comes up with a mini-lesson plan, craft, game and snack that is centered around the letter of the week. Now it's May and we've finally made it to the end of the alphabet. I have the letter "Z" next week and since we're almost done, I thought I'd do something a little bigger than I usually do. I came up with a game called "zoo bingo" and made cute bags for each child with some of my leftover sewing fabric so the kids can keep and take home their game pieces. On the back of the bags I sewed on their name. The kids will use animal crackers to cover up the animal picture that is called out during the game. The first child who gets six in a row wins the game! I'm going to get some books at the library about the zoo to read to them and for our craft, we'll make a crayon rubbing of a zipper and make the letter "Z" with playdough. What we're willing to do for our kids, right?
