Rosie regrets her mistake when she finds out that Violet has the chicken pox and won’t be able to tend to her plant. That is when Rosie really shines. She is the best she can be and she is the best friend she can be. Rosie sings and tends to both her plant and Violet’s.
You will have to read Rosie Sprout’s Time to Shine to see what happens when Violet gets back from being sick. Just know that this really is Rosie’s time to shine.
What did we do to explore Rosie Sprout’s Time to Shine?
The goal was to put the three peas that belonged together in the same pod.
When pod had its three pods, it should have an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, and an object that began with that letter. I was really pleased to see that JDaniel could match each of the letters quickly and find the right picture for each pod. He did change the game a little, but I will share that story with you next Wednesday. It deserves its on post.
Decorating a Flower Pot
He really wasn’t into painting the afternoon I set out the paint and flower pot. He painted the jellyfishes bell shape and didn’t want to paint the tentacles. I talked him in to doing some if I did some too.
I wasn’t surprised that this pot as a jellyfish them. We read books about them everyday. You may remember I even made him a jellyfish mobile for his room.
I love your pea pods, but I particularly love the plant pot. My husband had the children paint flower pots for me one Mother’s day, so they hold a special place in my heart!
That sounds like a really sweet book.
That plant pot is super sweet! I love it.
The pea pod activities are great!
Love the pea pod activities!
The books sounds like one my daughter may enjoy; we’ll have to look for it!
I like the counting and pod matching game. This does sound like a wonderful book.
I LOVE the counting and activity in this book. What a perfect Spring book. That flower pot is adorable.
Cute book!

I love your pea pod activity. It encouraged me to link up an older post of ours that involved peas and connecting with Eating the Alphabet A-Z. I hope it is okay to link up an older post if I have never linked it before. I am adding this book to the library list and completely adore your activity. Sharing, pinning, etc.
I think it’s so cool that JDaniel loves jellyfish. Gotta love a child who is interested in interesting things!! 🙂 Cute activities with the pea pods. Great ideas!! –Lisa
I use to love picking the books they had on display. Great way to find new books or themes.

What a lovely book! I miss those days. I love how you did a project just like the book! And I think it is very cool that your son is interested in jellyfish – they are fascinating creatures! One of my boys is interested in them too – we’re fortunate that he can attend an ocean camp in the summer where he can learn about marine life!
Such cute ideas as always!
The pea pods are so cute and a great learning activity! It sounds like a really good book for teaching about all kinds of feeling and character concepts.
Even if he wasn’t super into painting today, he still did a good job. 🙂
