Quiet Time Boxes - Wednesday

 

I was not anticipating a win in the Quiet Time Box department today. I felt that I did not have enough in today's box to occupy Eden, and even took an eleventh hour trip to the local Op Shop to see if I could find anything to pad it out. I couldn't. As I said, I was not anticipating a win.
I was wrong.
Apparently, the few items that I provided amounted to "the best box ever, Mummy! Apart from the other boxes, too!" Well said Eden, as only a four-year-old could phrase it. So, what was in Wednesday's box?



Theme: Numeracy

Contents:

• Laminated number tracing page, from Eden's curriculum (Confessions of a Homeschooler, if you want to read more about the curriculum itself, see this post)
• Dry erase crayon, for use with the tracing page
• 'Clothes pin number match' wheel, and numbered clothes pegs (the wheel is also from the curriculum at Confessions of a Homeschooler)
• Barbie jigsaw puzzle (70 cents)
• A tin of dominoes to play with, picked up from a local shop for $6
• A mini magnadoodle board
• Kaleidoscope
• Interlocking discs
• Calculator
• Tangram blocks 
• Tangram board
• Patterning tangram cards (also from the curriculum from Confessions of a Homeschooler)
• A Mickey Mouse stationary set ($2 from Sam's Warehouse) which consisted of a notebook, a pencil, an eraser and a sharpener

 

Quiet Time: I had to cut Eden's Quiet Time short today after an hour and a half, and I was surprised to find her still busily exploring the contents of her tub. She had sharpened her pencil - a lot - and was very proud of how pointy it was! She had also taken many 'notes' in her notebook based on her "calerations" [calculations] on the calculator, and had completed the peg wheel and jigsaw puzzle. She said her favourite item in the tub was the sharpener! Go figure!
