This week's Unplugged theme is soft. First, I wanted to make sure that Arin knew what soft was. So I laid two objects in front of her, one soft the other not soft. Then I had her pick the soft object. We did this activity four times and she did really good with it every time.
Next, I let Arin paint. Instead of using a paintbrush, she used cotton balls. 
For our last project, I made an "I Spy" board. For every object that I glued on the board, I glued an identical object on an index card. Although I glued several objects on the board, I only had Arin search for the "soft" things this time. I would show her the index card and she would find the identical object on the board. She really liked this game. We'll play it again using different cards, this way it will feel like a "new" game for a while.
