Tot School

Hunter is 23 months old.

We had another fun week at Tot School!

It seems like Veterans Day was a long time ago, but really it was just last week.  Hunter made this cute soldier on Veterans Day.

Our letter was F, and Hunter was excited to use the firetruck printables from Royal Baloo.

More fun with fire trucks… and wearing his turkey hat.

Gluing firetrucks onto the letter F.

Hunter added the F to our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree.

Hunter made this F craft from Totally Tots.

The finished F is for Fox.

Trying out some scissors.

I recently added a little basket for books related to what we are studying and Hunter loves looking at the books.  Hailey was learning about spiders last week and I had read this book during science.  I looked over later and Hunter was sitting there reading it!  I love that he usually picks the books we have read together.

Just doing some coloring.

I just thought this was cute- I looked on one of my bins and saw that Hunter had set up Woody and Buzz with a little snack.  I love how he plays and pretends now.  This age is just so much fun!!

Bee Crafty Kids- Turkey Fun

Welcome back to the Bee Crafty Kids link up that I am co-hosting with To The Moon and Back and Look! We’re Learning.

We are learning all about Thanksgiving this month and this week we did some turkey crafts.

First up- we made turkey hats

(I have to mention that we did this on our Wacky Wednesday fun day, which I’ll be posting about later.  But, Hailey is wearing her pajamas inside out for Wacky Wednesday.  Hunter is wearing his pajamas because he insists on wearing his Lightning McQueen pajama shirt almost every day.)

We made another fun turkey, that I had made with Hailey a few years ago.  It’s amazing how much she has changed since we made turkeys a few years ago.

Hunter adding some feathers to his turkey.

Hailey made a pattern with her feathers.

Hailey had written a turkey poem, so she added her poem to the front of her turkey.

Veterans Day

We don’t have school today because of Veterans Day, but I decided to do a quick little activity.

First we read “The Veterans Day Visitor” by Peter Catalanotto and Pamela Schembri.  It was a pretty good story for explaining why we observe Veterans Day.

Then we made some soldiers that I saw on Pinterest.

Tot School

Hunter is 23 months old

We had another fun week at Tot School!

We are learning all about spiders and we even caught a spider to observe.  Hunter really liked watching the spider!

Color sorting with M&Ms onto different colored spiders.

I asked Hunter, “Where is the blue one?” and he pointed in his mouth because he had just eaten a blue M&M 🙂

Hunter loved searching through rice for some plastic spiders.

We sang a little spider song.  We sang it to the tune of 10 little Indians:
Crawl, crawl, crawl like a spider.
Crawl, crawl, crawl like a spider.
Crawl, crawl, crawl like a spider.
Crawl around your web.
We used different words in place of crawl like pounce, jump, etc.

You can see some of the other spider fun we had by clicking on the picture above.

Hunter enjoyed some sensory bags this week- this one had shaving cream in it.

He also played with a sensory bag with shampoo in it.

E was our letter this week- we were making an elephant and didn’t have any gray paper, so Hunter colored the paper.

Making the E craft

E is for Elephant

Hunter played with his letter magnets and sang the ABCs

We added the letter E to our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Tree.

We have been learning about Thanksgiving and this week we learned about the Sioux Indians and made tee-pees.  Hunter worked a long time coloring his tee-pee.

Hailey and Hunter’s finished tee-pees.

Hunter likes to do whatever Hailey is doing, so he worked on coloring a picture just like she was doing.
