Teaching with ornaments!

You could teach with any ornament that you feel safe with your baby holding, feeling, looking at, and studying.  The best idea is to put it under a light and show your kid if it has sparkles.  You could show them if it has a letter on it and what color it is.  Like if it blue with silver sparkles or if it is red with red sparkles.  You can also say this ornament is made with cinnamon dough (I'm just calling it cinnamon dough).  And you can tell your baby if it is a star or a square.  You can just tell them what shape it is and what shape it isn't.

This is the ornament I was teaching with.

    1. I bet they will! There are a few more, but I just didn't feel like including them. If you want to know what they are, you can comment again. But I'm not sure if I will remember. Thank you for commenting!
