Tot School- Week in Review
Hailey is 31 months old.
We are staying with my parents right now until it is time for the closing on our new house (we are hoping it will be this week or early next week). While we are here I don’t have to worry about packing or unpacking. So, we finally have time to do some Tot School activities again. Here is a review of what we did last week with links to the activities I posted about.
Our letter of the week was the letter M. We made this Mountain M.
When Hailey made her Mother’s Day cards for her grandmothers she decided she wanted to draw pictures of everyone. Here is picture of how her people turned out when she drew Gramma and Pa. Both of them have a head, 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 eyes, a nose and a mouth. I thought they turned out pretty good for her first attempt at drawing people.
Hailey had fun just exploring and watching the colors mix together and change.
Our theme for the week was dinosaurs. We made this fun dinosour bones picture.
Hailey enjoyed playing with these dinosaur bones.
Hailey decorated a dinosaur and then we wrote a story about her dinosaur, Haily-o-saurus.
Hailey loved this mat and played with her dinosaurs on it.
Hailey really enjoyed making some dinosaur fossils.
This was the first time I have ever done a worksheet like this with Hailey. I think she’s ready to start working on following directions and coloring in the lines, rather than just free coloring all of the time. She did really well following directions and seemed to enjoy coloring the dinosaur foot prints.
We practiced shapes, colors and counting by making this shape dinosaur.
Hailey found some foam dinosaurs in my box of dinosaur related materials and wanted to glue them onto some paper.
Lastly Hailey did some practice cutting.
It was a great week! It was nice to get back into doing Tot School after taking a break to move. Check out 1+1+1=1 to see what the other tots did last week.
I love all of the dinosaur activities. RockerTot is crazy about dinosaurs. I’ll have to borrow some of your activities to use with him. Thanks for sharing!!
We did Dinos this week too! We did much of the same activities with our own variation! I really like the Popsicle stick craft! Have to file that one away for later.
I post 2 weeks behind though so I just got up Butterflies and Bugs…. Where did you get that Dino skeleton?
Great week! I am very impressed with her drawings of people!
Oh her people drawings are so good! K isn’t drawing people yet butt I am trying to teach him! I LOVE first drawings!!!!

Great activities! I was wondering if you made the “mixing colors” see-through toy (3rd photo) or you bought it. It looks neat. I’ve been doing color exploration with my 3 year old. We used clear cups filled with water and used primary food colors to change the color of the water. Then we mixed the primary colors to make secondary colors. She LOVED this because she LOVES water. We had read the book “Mouse Paint” so it was a fun activity to do after that story. Keep up the great job with Hailey!
That looks like a lot of fun! We are going to be doing the Beach this week!
Where did you find that dinosaur footprint coloring page? I have searched and can’t find it. Is it from a book?
Thanks so much:)!
