Wheel Painting

Our theme this week is transportation and we did a really simple craft today.  Hailey loves these kinds of activities.

Here’s what you’ll need: paint, paper plates, construction paper and cars (or anything with wheels).

Dip the wheels into the paint and drive the car on your paper.  Hailey was thrilled with the result! 
( This will work best if you spread the paint nice and thin on your paper plate.)

Add another color.

Shape Truck

Our theme this week is transportation.  We started out today making a truck using a variety of shapes and colors.

Here’s what you’ll need: construction paper to glue your truck on, a variety of shapes in different colors and glue.

Glue the shapes on to the construction paper to make the truck.

Our finished truck.  This project is great for reinforcing shapes and colors!

Letter of the Week- Letter J

Our letter this week is the letter J.  I had a really hard time coming up with a craft to do relating to the letter J.  Then I saw Hailey looking at one of her Veggie Tales books and talking about Junior.  So, we made a Junior J.

Here’s what you’ll need:  a large J on construction paper, several Juniors, crayons, glue and another piece of construction paper to glue the J on.

Color your Juniors.

Glue the Juniors onto the J.

Tot School- Week in Review

Hailey is currently 28 months old.

Another week of Tot School has gone by- the time is just flying!  Here is a review of what we did this week with links to the activities I posted about.

Our letter of the week this week was the letter I.  We made this Ice Cream Cone I.

Hailey loved doing this heart sponge painting.

Hailey colored the pieces for our first Tot-Book.

Here is the outside of Hailey’s completed Veggie Tales Tot-Book.

The inside.

You can get everything you need to make your own at Veggie Tales Tot-Book.  (Thanks so much Carisa for doing the Tot-Books!)

Hailey really enjoyed her Veggie Tales Tot-Book!

We also painted using cookie cutters shaped like Valentine’s.

Hailey made Valentine’s Day cards for her grandparents.

Hailey really enjoyed making this heart fish.
