Books, Books & more Books!

Lovely hatched a plan today after we had gone through the sandpaper numbers (btw - I was able to see - and feel - some 'real' sandpaper numbers at a Montessori school on the weekend & was *shocked* at how fine the sandpaper was! I've used kinda average sandpaper which is *much* courser than the real ones & now I'm worried about sanding my children's fingertips off. Woops!) and it involved a lot of books...

Matching piles of books to each number! He was quite confident up until the last few & very interested with the idea that the Zero didn't get any books ;)

  3. i've made my own sandpaper letters in the past, and used a somewhat rough sandpaper, definitely not as fine as the real ones. No one ever got bloody fingers :)

  4. LOL :) I'm trying to show Lovely how to softly 'dance' his fingers across the sandpaper but he insists on pressing quite hard. We'll have to see how it turns out!
