Dot-to-Dots

Yesterday, the boys became obsessed with dot-to-dots. I let Bug work with our friend J's hand-me-down preschool workbook to keep him occupied while I worked with Bee, and he fell in love with the dot-to-dot concept. Anyway, after A. (age 7) finished his work, he wanted to do dot-to-dots, so he got an old book (for ages 4-6) and began working on it with gusto and managed to finish it in the car on the way to gymnastics and back.

I have found some great dot-to-dots for Bee at Raising Our Kids that are a little harder. I printed them and put them on a clipboard, for him to do at Bug's gymnastics and in the car. I'm excited--I think he will like them.

I also found some logic puzzles at Enchanted Learning, and I plan to look for more. Bee had his first logic puzzle in his math workbook and loved it, so I think he'll be excited about those as well.

I'm trying to find things that Bee will want to do on his own without realizing that they are "school."
