Two batches of shells from the dollar store provide at least an hour of fun on a Sunday morning. Fill the sink with water…

Then sort! Later on Claire had her Little People friends play among the shells at the beach.

Then she decided that today was Space Bunny’s birthday (a little jingly rabbit toy she’s had since birth). So we got out construction paper, scissors, and glue. We made presents, cupcakes (with sprinkles!), and a cake with candles.

We also made paper flowers with marker, paper and pipe stems. Then Claire held the bunny and everyone sang happy birthday. Everyone had fun, and soon enough it was time for dinner and an evening walk, then bath and bed.
