My3Joys.com - A Blog about Faith, Family, and Love by Melissa Fleming

Along with My Father’s World Curriculum that I use for Kit Kat, I have also been downloading www.ConfessionsofaHomeschooler.com printables for both her and RyRy!!  They have been a GREAT addition to our everyday stuff.  One of my favorite things that she has is a scavenger hunt for each letter of the week.  And because we live in a state that has FANTASTIC weather almost everyday, we do our scavenger hunt outside!!  I have been taking the kids for walks since before they were born and I haven’t stopped.  It is truly one of my favorite times of the day.  When the laundry is piled too high or I can’t seem to keep the house picked up enough, I know it is time to go outside.  I just say, “lets go for a walk”.  I almost NEVER hear anyone complain.  So today our letter of the week is “D” for dinosaur.  RyRy brought his wagon to collect items that we found and Good Golly Miss Molly brought her baby stroller to gather her items.  Kit Kat just walked with me.  We love to hold hands as we walk.  So special to me, I must say!!  We start to say things out loud that start with the letter “D”.  I come up with most of the items but I have found giving them hints about what I am thinking about makes it really fun for them.  RyRy likes to make up words, which is sooo funny for all of us.  Kit Kat came up with a great one, “Diamond”!! and Ry Ry said “Darn”.  We look for things on our walk that might start with that letter or just start blurting things out.  They found it cute that I acted out a few of the words like “Dance”.  So when you see some crazy lady with 3 little ones dancing on the sidewalk and shouting out words that start with the letter “D”, that’s me, it’s my plan and I’m sticking to it.
