Drawing and Cutting

I'm experimenting with having Sparkle draw on glass with a china marker. When the china marker is used on glass, it erases more more quickly and cleanly than from laminated paper. I'm using a document frame (8.5 x 11) with the worksheet paper under the glass.



Currently, letting Glitter cut paper has been an effective way of keeping her occupied while I school Sparkle. She'll sit and happily cut and cut and cut. She doesn't get frustrated at the snips not being the shape she wants, and she's pretty good about cutting only paper. (The tough part is trying to get her to throw away her snips.) Here, Glitter is making a ladder out of paper. At preschool yesterday they got to see a firetruck. I think that is where she got the idea.
