We watched a YouTube video about how sheep are sheered to make yarn! Little Bug was fascinated.

We sang Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and then I asked her, “Little Bug, what is a color that starts with the letter Y?” I pulled out a container of paint from our painting supply box and asked her what color it was and what letter the color starts with. We went through all the colors until I pulled out the yellow paint!

Then she painted two stars yellow. I had cut the stars from foam paper.
