Anyone that homeschools and has a younger sibling running around can relate to this. I’m always looking for activities for J. to do while his big brother is doing homeschool. Normally, he plays well by himself with his trains or cars, but near the end he wanders in and wants to join in the fun where he can.
I recently saw a great idea on a homeschooling blog, http://www.1plus1plus1equals1.com/ . It was for a lap book, which had theme based activities. J. loves Thomas the train and so I decided to make him one. He LOVES it. He will sit happily and play with it while we finish up with school, and he will play with it at other times too.Then, of course, big brother became jealous and wanted a lap book too. Right now he is absolutely obsessed with New York (after a group did this year’s VBS theme with the kids), and so that is what his book is. I’ll post more about it next time….
