Car Painting

During our transportation theme, Hunter had fun making this great painting.

He had to taste the paint too.

Then he did a little more painting while checking out the mess he made on his hand.

Hailey wanted to make one too (and as you can see, Hunter is eating some more paint in the background.)

Tot School

Hunter is 14.5 months old

We missed a week of Tot School because Hunter was sick 🙁  He had a cold that turned into an ear infection and he was just miserable.  So, we took it easy for a week.  We were back to work this week though and had a fun week.

Our theme was transportation and we were still focusing on the color red.

Hunter worked on a transportation puzzle.  When he put the piece in the correct spot he got to hear the sound that the vehicle mades.  He loved it!

He had to stop working for a minute to suck on his toe 😉

Hunter also has this toy, when he matches up the vehicle it makes the sound of the vehicle.  He usually needs help matching them up, but he gets so excited when he hears the sound.

We also read some books about transportation.  This is one of his Lego books, where we can look at the pictures and build the vehicles.

The airplane and the car we made with Legos.

Hunter also tried out the train he got for Christmas.

He’s still not quite ready for it 🙂  He prefers to just take it apart.

Hunter loved this parking garage.  He had a lot of fun with all of his vehicles on the ramp.

Hunter painted with a car.

Hailey wanted to make a picture using a car too.  You can see Hunter in the background eating the paint off of his car.

Hunter used the d0-a-dot markers for the first time.  He LOVED it!!  He was not happy when it was time to put it away.

Hailey and Hunter made these in celebration of Dr. Seuss’s birthday.

Thing 1 and Thing 2

Hailey and Hunter made this cute Thing 1 and Thing 2 craft that I saw at Seusstastic Classroom.

Hailey did this printable I also found at Seusstastic Classroom.  She wrote, “I would tell the to please cause trouble.”  She said she would tell them that because they always do the opposite.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss 🙂

Tot School

Hunter is 14 months old

We had a fun week at Tot School this week!  Here’s a peek at some of the things we did:

We made a Valentine’s Day sensory bin that included pictures of our family on heart shaped card stock and some fake rose petals.

Hunter loved seeing the pictures of our family!  (See original post here.)

Hunter used a heart shaped cookie cutter to make some heart prints.  (Original post here.)

Hunter made this cute Valentine that says “I love you to pieces.”  (Original post here.)

Hunter is also learning the color red, so we had a red sensory bin. (Original post here.)

I made this so Hunter could practice his fine motor skills.  I just put a little hole in the bottom of each spot on the egg carton and put red pipe cleaner through each hole.

He’s not ready to try to put the pipe cleaner in through the holes yet.  That was too hard and just made him frustrated.  He handed it to me and wanted me to do it.

He did like pulling the pieces out though and worked on it for several minutes (which is a long time in toddler time).

 Hunter also colored for the first time this week.  He seemed to enjoy it and was very proud of himself once he finally figured out how to do it.  (Original post here.)
