15. Plan weekly craft projects with Avie for 6 months. Make it a habit to continue on after the 6 months by putting it on the calendar. (9/24)

Craft Project #9 - Cut out pictures from a magazine of objects your toddler knows. Using sticker letters, have your toddler stick the first letter that the object starts with. A great chance to practice the alphabet and learning to spell.

After we cut out the pictures and did the project, Avie wanted to do it again. We ended it doing it 3 times that day. She had so much fun that the past few nights when I have been cooking dinner, she's been doing this project over and over again at the kitchen table. It's been a great distraction and what's wonderful about this is that she's learning to spell!
