Some Fun Things We've Done Recently - Feb. 21, 2011

I haven't posted anything along these lines for awhile because my creativity with hands-on projects has been put on hold for a bit now that the baby has learned to crawl.  Our fun stuff has turned into reading lots of books and coloring or drawing pictures to put in our portfolios and playing lots of games.

We've read so many fun books recently, it would be impossible to list them all here, so I've tried to pick our top 10:

What's in Our CD Player - Feb. 21, 2011

Here are some of the CD's that have been a favorite at our house over the past week or two:
Vivaldi's Ring of Mystery (Audio CD)Mozart's Magnificent Voyage 

These two Cd's are part of the Classical Kids collection and are two of the most-listened-to CD's at our house.  Fun stories and classical music introduce kids to the composer's music and give some background information on their lives.


The Chronicles of Narnia: Never Has the Magic Been So Real (Radio Theatre) [Full Cast Drama]This one keeps the whole family entertained.  We've had the flu go through our house, and this was a favorite for passing the time while recovering on the couch.


Holiday Songs And LullabiesAnother sick-day pick.  Although the holidays are long over, we keep this CD around because it is wonderful for relaxing to on a snowy day.


Celtic WorshipMom's pick for a sick day.  I love the music and it inevitably puts the kids to sleep.



Rocketship RunJust for fun!  I generally find nonsense lyrics annoying, but this one has such great, catchy tunes I can't help but like it.  The kids love this CD and often check it out of the library for road trips because it is so much fun to sing along to...and Mom and Dad can't help but join in!
