My most-est favorite-est gift this year has been two assorted colors of white erase markers.  Thick and Thin.  Oh what a mom can do with colors!  We were down to one half dried blue and a yellow.  Jon has been taking the winter break to learn some sight words – and the colors were a fun project.  FYI – we have tiles that have words on them, these are obviously colors – pick a tile, match the color paper, match the color ink, write the word with the color ink.  Then we did numbers the same way, err, um, except we didn’t put color codes on the markers.  I think I’d be concerned if my son could prattle out 2122930 Ruby Red. 🙂
