Luv Bug is 36 months old
Ever since we bought Luv Bug the new Winnie the Pooh movie, I knew I'd have to do a Pooh theme for her. She LOVES Pooh and his friends. We had so much fun this week, I almost wish we could do it another week.
Luv Bug had 5 trays:
Luv Bug's bear, part of this set.
Pink and Purple playdough.
I bought these foam unit blocks at the Dollar Tree. Such a simple toy, but one of Luv Bug's favorite tray items.
When I saw these cute counting fish over at Counting Coconuts, I knew Luv Bug would enjoy a set.
She lined them up in order. We played this for awhile.
I first saw the idea for this Mystery Bag over at The Princess and the Tot. There are so many fun things you can do with this. The first day, I put these four new Pooh characters inside as a special surprise.
Another day, I gave Luv Bug a paper bag with the letter P printed on it. We went around and found things that make the puh sound to add to the bag.
Later, we added the 'P' items to her mystery bag. She had to reach in and guess what she was grabbing. We waited until Daddy was home from work to do this. We had a lot of fun with this game.

Some other Pooh or bear activities:
I bought this from Scholastic awhile back. We played once, then Luv Bug just wanted to play with the bears.
Lots of Pooh puzzles. Most came from the Dollar Tree.
I also bought this Go together game at the Dollar Tree. What I love about this game is that it is self correcting. After you find a match that goes together, you flip the cards over and the two cards will make a picture.
I was so excited to find this HUGE Pooh Preschool Pack over at Living Life Intentionally. She created several sheets ranging in about ages 2-7. I chose a few to do with Luv Bug this week, then filed the rest for when she is older. All the printables below are part of that pack.
I made Luv Bug some Pooh cutting practice strips. Her cutting is definitely improving.
Years ago, when I worked in pre-k, we made slime often. Even though it's been several years since then, the recipe is so easy (1 part Elmer's glue to one part liquid starch) , I didn't bother to check. I forgot that you MUST use Elmer's glue for this...whoops. It came out very stringy. Luv Bug didn't know any better and enjoyed it very much, so I just let her play with it.
It was super sticky, so I set out a bowl of water for Luv Bug's hands. She put the 'slime' in it instead and it totally changed it's consistency.
I took a piece out. It was very shiny and smooth, but very tough. You could stretch it a bit, but then it would snap in two, almost like a rubber band. Fortunately, my failed attempt at making slime, turned into an awesome sensory and science activity.

A few random pics of the week:
My mom gave us a bird feeder so Luv Bug could watch the birds out the kitchen window. So far, this squirrel's been the only visitor.
I had dinner on the stove, when Luv Bug said she needed the potty. She wanted to put her tights on herself, so I told her she could while I turned off the stove. This is how I found her when I came back in:) Luv my Bug!!!!!
