Snow Days and Imagination Exercises for Meema

                                                                          

First of all, look at this! No front teeth! (But there are new ones coming in.)                                                        


Monday and Wednesday were snow days and I stayed with Meema. I found lots to do.

                                                      
I had a remote learning packet with stuff to do. It was all pretty easy.
                                                     

Meema kept asking me questions, so I went and got her spatula for her to play with. I am good at schoolwork. And on the last Awards Day, I got an award for Expressive Reading. Meema was very happy--she always tells me how good it is to read with expression. I sometimes do different voices too.

                                                          
The babies love the story about baby dragons.
                                                          


All that was on Wednesday. On Monday, Meema and I worked on putting together a kaleidoscope and she kept looking at the directions. I told her to use her imagination and she kept saying we needed to follow the directions. (There was glitter and little tiny stars and little purple balls EVERYWHERE.)                                                      


We finally got the kaleidoscope together and then I decided to give Meema some Imagination Lessons.

                                                                                


I made her an Imagination Mask to help her use her imagination. (There is a back part with brown hair but you can't see it.)
                                                                             
                                                                             

             Then I made an Imagination Trail for her to follow. (Editor's note: Coins are good for playing with but haven't the importance they once had.)

                                                            


 I showed Meema how I used my imagination and put the leftover glitter in some play dough. I also did a song about imagination. 

The we took turns doing puppet shows. I think Meema's imagination got better. But I will keep working on her.

Ah, if only I had an imagination mask! But what are you supposed to do with the spatula, I wonder.

The spatula is a long-running joke. Several years ago, when she wouldn't let me mess with something or other of hers, I complained that it wasn't fair; she had lots of stuff to play with and I had nothing. "You can play with your spatula," she told me.
