Tot School- Week in Review

We had another great week of Tot School!  Here is a review of what we did this week with links to the activities I posted about. 

This week we were reviewing letters E-H so we didn’t have a new Letter of the Weekacitivity.  So, instead here are a couple of things we did to review those letters.

Hailey used our letter cookie cutters to cut letters out of her playdough.

One day for lunch I cut Hailey’s grilled cheese sandwich into letters.

We read “The Mitten” by Jan Brett and then made a mitten and the animals.  Hailey retold the story and acted it out by putting the animals into the mitten.

We finished up our winter theme by making this penguin.

The we started our Valentine’s Day theme by making a heart wreath.

We finished up our week by making this heart suncatcher.

Heart Suncatcher

Today we made this very simple and pretty heart suncatcher.

Here is what you’ll need: tissue paper, scissors, contact paper,  a piece of paper to use as your outline for your heart.

Tape a piece of contact paper down on the table with the sticky side up.  Put your heart outline on the contact paper.  (There is a pretty design on the other side of the heart outline.)

Cover the inside of the heart with torn up tissue paper.

The finished heart suncatcher.

Heart Wreath

I had planned to wait until next week to post our Valentine’s Day crafts, but I’m in the mood to start now.  So, we’re starting today instead.

We made this very easy and cute Heart Wreath.

Here’s what you’ll need: paper plate, paper, scissors and glue.

Cut the center out of the paper plate and cut hearts out of the paper.

Glue your hearts onto the plate.

The finished Heart Wreath, which you can proudly display with your Valentine’s Day decorations.

Penguins

We have been talking about winter animals for our craft time, so I thought it would be fun to make a penguin.

Here’s what you’ll need- construction paper- black, orange, white and blue, glue, wiggle eyes, scissors and some items to decorate your penguin.

Cut out a black body for your penguin, then white for his stomach. Cut two arms out of the black paper, two legs and a beak out of the orange paper.  I cut up some blue and purple paper for decorating.

 Hailey decorated the tummy of the penguin using stickers and the blue and purple pieces of paper.

Then Hailey put her penguin together on a piece of blue construction paper, for sturdiness.  She also added pom poms to the penguins tummy.

Here is the finished penguin.
