Tot School
May
Hunter is 17 months old.
We had a super fun week at Tot School this week!! We were busy learning about dinosaurs and the color orange.
We had an orange day, Hunter loved wearing his hat. Our weather has been so crazy!! We had some days that were hot enough to need air conditioning. Then we had days so cold that some places in our area saw snow. Obviously, this was taken on one of the cold days.
Hunter thought this little dinosaur mat was pretty fun. He has loved playing with the dinosaurs!
Of course, he had to go and line up the dinosaurs with his cars.
Hunter growls every time he sees this dinosaur poster, although he says “tweet, tweet” for the pterodactyl.
Hailey read Hunter some books about dinosaurs. This is one of my favorite things to see- Hailey reading to Hunter!
Hunter and Hailey loved playing in our little dinosaur land.
Hailey made this volcano and we set it off several times. So much fun!!
Hunter painted some orange dinosaur footprints. He loves to paint!! Anytime he sees me get the paint out he starts saying, “More, more!”
We made some fun dinosaur fossils. Hunter always paints very carefully.
We also made some dinosaur bones.
Hailey made a huge bowl of bubbles.
Hunter thought the bowl of bubbles was great!

Our focus for Tot School was space and the color orange.
Hunter made an orange tissue paper flower to add to our collection of sun catchers.

We made some simple rocket ships that practiced shapes.

We made some fun aliens.
They turned out cute. (See the full post here.)
My favorite project of all of our space activities was this one. I love how it turned out!! See the full post here and see how great these turned out.
And of course, we made a Mother’s Day craft 🙂

These weeks need to stop flying by so quickly, it seems like I just did a Tot School post, but here I am again doing another one. This week we started a new color- orange, and continued our space theme.

He wanted to wear this orange hat.
He kept his hat on and practiced throwing the football into a bowl.
This is Hunter working on making a moon rock. You can see the full post here, to see how we made them.
Our completed moon rocks, which I think turned out really great! Hunter has enjoyed playing with his rock all week. It didn’t hold up too well when he put it in his water table, but the water certainly looked nice and glittery.
We also made paper bag aliens. Hunter loved using the do-a-dot markers to decorate his.
Hailey showing the completed aliens. (Full post here.)
We also made UFOs. (Full post here.)
Here are the completed UFOs, hanging from our chandelier.

Tot School
Apr
Hunter is 16 months old.
Hunter was sick again this week so we didn’t do a whole lot of Tot School. We did still manage to do a few activities. We finished up the color yellow this week and also stared a space theme.
Hunter is constantly taking my aluminum foil out of the cupboard, so I decided to just give him a piece to play with to see if that would satisfy his curiosity.
Hunter played with some cooked spaghetti- this didn’t keep his attention for very long. At first he didn’t want to touch it and when he finally did he only played with it for a few minutes.
He also used the spaghetti to paint with. This was definitely more interesting to him. He loves to paint!
For our space theme Hunter made a rocket ship using his name.
It turned out really cute, you can see the full post here.
We made a really fun sun- Hunter loved it!!
I love how the suns turned out!! You can see the full post here.
We also took a little trip to the moon 🙂 and brought back some moon sand that Hunter enjoyed playing with. You can see the full post for that here.
