Narrations Jar
As school has started I was looking for something to liven up our narrations a little. I do require the two big kids to do a written narration once a week (twice for Jam).
However I saw a fun idea here and thought I would try this to add a twist of excitement to our day.
I changed a couple of the labels (My kids would die laughing if they read Mama). I also removed the playdoh and blocks as when my kids get those out it's hard to get them to stop.

I put my slips in a glass jar and then 'modge pogded' a label on it so little jam wouldn't pull it off!
Added a ribbon and Jam found it before the glue had dried and pulled out a slip!
and off we went.....
The Modge Podge was not quite dry when I took the picture...but it wasn't when Jam pulled his first slip so you will just have to forgive me.
These are great ideas...thanks for sharing! We'll have to try some of them. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them! I am sure I will add one or two as we go one! Boo did the "Write a Comic Strip" she had been reading about the death of Shakespeare and did one about him leaving his wife a bed...very funny!
ReplyDeleteWe have a narration jar and I think I'm going to add some of your ideas to ours. I love the emailing idea (that might get my kids to write - they love emailing Grandma and Grandpa!). Thanks for sharing.
