My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes

I rearranged some things to neaten up our craft area.  At the same time I set up Peter's activity drawers.  In homeschooling lingo they are work boxes.  There is one activity in each box/drawer and he does them sequentially.  In the drawer he should find everything he needs to complete the activity right down to his pencil or glue.  I view this as a good opportunity to try out the system and see how it works for us.  Hypothetically, if it is a good fit for us we could continue to use a work box system throughout his schooling (with slight modifications, obviously, as he gets older).


Drawer 1 was his morning message and drawer 2 had the book My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes (which we read together) along with some cat-themed pencil practice.

Drawer 3 was a cat puzzle to practice putting the numbers 1 - 20 in order.


Drawer 4 had all the ingredients for a free-form cat craft.  Peter is getting much better with scissors and cut the cat's whiskers all by himself.
