It was HOT today and the kids just didn’t know what to do with themselves so I pulled out some glow stick bracelets that I got from Target’s dollar section. Here are some of the things we did with them:
We made letters,
sorted them by color,
counted them,
and talked about small, medium and large.
Feeling satisfied that Aiden and I did a little school, I handed over the bracelets and let the kids play. They put some of the bracelets together, making a big circle, and took turns tossing the bracelets into the circle.
They made faces
and jewelry. This is Emily all decked out in the dark
and the kids sporting their jewelry with the lights on.
The kids have played with the bracelets all evening. Who knew glow stick bracelets would occupy them for so long?
