Tot School

Hunter is 30 months old.

Letter V Activities:

Tot School

We always start the week with a letter paper- this printable is from 1+1+1=1.

Tot School

Hunter decorated a letter V to make our letter project.

Tot School

V is for volcano.

Shapes:

Tot School

The shape we concentrated on this week was the triangle.  I put painter’s tape onto a piece of paper and had Hunter paint all around the paper.

Tot School

Then I peeled the tape off and we were left with this triangle.

Tot School

Hunter practiced his shapes with this shape printable  from 1+1+1=1.  I put it on a cookie sheet, then asked him to find a shape, and he found the shape and put a magnetic pom pom on the shape I asked for.

Sensory:

Tot School

Hunter played with Mickey and Minnie in this bin of pom poms.

Manipulatives:

Tot School

Hunter and Hailey used our unifix cubes to build all sorts of things- but mostly swords to fight each other.

Tot School

We used the magnetic pom poms again to practice numbers.

Other:

Tot School

We are working on a super fun unit all about caterpillars and butterflies.  Hailey has read a different book each day during science.

Tot School

For one craft we made these cute caterpillars- pom poms glued onto clothespins, then we added googly eyes.

Tot School

The next day we put our caterpillars into toilet paper tubes and wrapped yarn around them to represent a chrysalis.

Tot School

Then we colored coffee filters with washable markers and sprayed them with water.  When the colors run together it looks so pretty- we used these to turn our caterpillars into butterflies.

Tot School

Hailey and Hunter made life cycle plates about the butterflies.  Hunter loves it when he gets to do whatever Hailey is doing!

Tot School

Here is Hunter’s finished life cycle plate- eggs to larva (caterpillar) to pupa (chrysalis) to adult (butterfly).

Tot School

We also made some butterfly sun catchers.

Here is Hunter’s finished butterfly.

Tot School

We sang a song about a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.  Hailey and Hunter loved the song and the hand motions to go with it.  Here are the words that we sang:

I saw a caterpillar
climbing up a tree.
He wiggled and he wiggled,
he wiggled right at me.
I put him in a box,
“Stay right there,” I said.
But, when I opened up the box
a butterfly instead.
I couldn’t do it,
even if I tried.
Only God in heaven
could make a butterfly.

Stop by 1+1+1=1 to see what the other tots were up to this week.

V is for Volcano

13
Feb

We thought it would be fun to talk about Volcanos to go along with our letter of the week.  So we read some books and looked at pictures and then made our own.

We mixed:
3 cups of flour
1 cup of salt
2 tbsp of cooking oil
water

We formed our volcano around an empty yogurt container.

Hailey decided to paint her volcano brown.

Once everything was dry we made our volcano erupt.  We mixed:
2 spoonfuls of baking soda
1 spoonful of dish soap
red and yellow food coloring
and when we were ready to set it off- we added the vinegar

(Rich thought it would be fun to mix all of those things together inside a water bottle and then hold his finger over the top while the pressure built up.  Let’s just say it erupted like what an actual volcano probably does and the kitchen was a mess!)

We also started doing the Raising Rock Stars Preschool letter of the week activities that I found over at 1+1+1=1.

Hailey coloring her verse for the week.  The letter V was kind of a hard letter to start with- the verse was hard for her to remember.

Then she colored and cut her One Way sign.

And read the One Way book.

Letter of the Week- Letter V

07
Feb

Our letter this week is the letter V.  Here are some of the things we did to learn our letter.  I only post the things I am able to take pictures of, but we do a lot more.

First we made a V is for vase.  Hailey started out by coloring some coffee filters.

Then she sprayed the coffee filters with a light mist of water.  After the coffee filters dried I cut out some flowers.

V is for Vase.

Then Hailey cut out various vegetables that we found in the the fliers from our newspaper.

This “V is for vegetables” page will go in our alphabet book.

I got this letter V sheet here and had Hailey stamp all of the letter Vs with her do-a-dot markers.

Musings of Me has a whole Valentine’s Day unit with tons of fun printables.  That’s where this is from.

This is also from Musings of Me- Hailey had to sort the letters based on whether it was a V or some other letter.

I’ll be posting all of our Valentine’s Day projects this week so be sure to check back!
