Week 1 of the official stay-at-home mandate due to the COVID-19 mandate here in beautiful Louisiana is down. WE SURVIVED!
I hope you and your family are navigating this transition well and adjusting to this new normal as much as you can. In my last post, “The COVID-19 pandemic may produce the most resilient generations we have ever seen,” I share some tips about how to thrive during and after this pandemic is over!
On that note, I can definitely say this has been a heck of a transition for everyone in our household. Christian and I decided to pull Izzy out of his daycare a week before the lockdown started due to his allergies acting up, and we are going to try to keep him at home as much as possible through all this.
But just because this little toddler is staying at home doesn’t mean the learning stops! Last week, learning activities and crafts were based around bugs and below I have shared the 5 bug crafts activities our toddler did each day!
Day 1 – The Itsy Bitsy Spider Story and Craft
For the first day of bug week, Izzy learned and sang about the Itsy Bitsy Spider. For the craft, he cut out pictures of the Itsy Bitsy Spider, the waterspout, the Sun, and the rain cloud to glue to a piece of construction paper as he sang the song.
