Tot School

Hunter is 27 months old.

We had a great week at Tot School this week!

Letter N activities:

We used several printables from COAH. Hunter lined up his counting bears on the letter N.

He traced the letter N with his finger.

Hunter glued noodles onto the N is for Nest paper.

He used his do-a-dot markers to dot the letter N.

I made a Nemo lapbook for Hunter.

Hunter enjoyed using his Nemo lapbook.

Hunter painted a letter N paper from 1+1+1=1.

We made an N is for numbers… and I found out that Hunter can identify some of his numbers.

Manipulatives:

Hunter sorted his bears.

Hunter worked on sorting his rainbow pegs by color.  It really bothered him that there wasn’t enough room for all of the colors to have their own row.  He kept taking pieces out and trying to make room for the purple pegs.

He liked making a necklace with the rainbow pegs.

He worked on pounding some nails.

Hunter did some building with some blocks.

Sensory bins:

I put sea shells in the sensory bin one day.  Hunter was not very interested in the shells.

I put macaroni noodles in his bin another day, which he loved.

Other:

Hunter had fun playing basketball with Hailey at swim and gym.

Tot School

Hunter is 27 months old.

We have been busy having lots of fun in Tot School!  We had 2 short weeks, with only 3 days of school each week.  So, this post covers what we did during the last 2 weeks.

Letter M activities:

Hunter glued pom poms onto the M and the monkeys.  We used this and several other printables from COAH.

Hunter lined up some Unifx cubes on the letter M.

Hunter colored the letter M.

Hunter used water colors to paint this M paper.  We also used this and several other printables from 1+1+1=1.

He stamped the letter M on this mouse and then glued on some foam Ms.

I’m pretty sure the M&M activities were his favorite 🙂  Although he ate most the M &Ms instead of putting them on the paper.  I gave him a little pile of M&Ms and told him to put them on the M on his paper.  He said, “I can’t” and then stuffed them right in his mouth hahaha.

He practiced color sorting with the M&Ms.

We made this M is for Mike (or M is for Monster).

We read 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.  Hunter loved this book and has been singing about the monkeys ever since.

I made a Five Little Monkeys lapbook for Hunter.

The inside of the lapbook.  Hunter loved this!!  We had so much fun with this lapbook.

Manipulatives:

Hunter worked on his alphabet puzzle.

These rainbow pegs kept Hunter busy for a long time!

Sensory Bins:

I have decided to do a couple of small sensory bins each week with Hunter.

Hunter liked playing with the beads.

The yarn was fun too.

The bean seeds were definitely his favorite.

Hunter loved the sensory bins!!  They all kept him occupied for a very long time.

(I was closely supervising Hunter during the sensory bin activities as the beads and beans are both choking hazards).

Other stuff:

Hunter had fun in our tunnel.

Fun dance party 🙂

We spent the last couple of weeks learning all about apples.  At the end of our apple unit we put together an Apple Totbook.

Here is the cover of Hunter’s totbook.

Ocean Animals Tot Book

Over the last month we have been learning all about the ocean/beach.  Hailey made a lapbook about dolphins, so I decided to have Hunter make his first lapbook too- or a tot book, since he’s a toddler.  I knew just where to go to find a good tot book to make for Hunter.  When Hailey was a toddler she made her first tot book about Veggie Tales using 1+1+1=1, so I decided to look there to try to find something to make with Hunter.  Of course, I found a perfect Ocean Animals Tot Book!

The cover for our Tot Book

Here is the completed Ocean Animals Tot Book.

Hunter colored the different ocean animals different colors for the accordion book part of the tot book.  This was the only part of the tot book where he had to do anything before I put it together, the rest of it was just me cutting things out and putting them together.

 Hunter seemed pretty pleased when he looked inside.

These are the cards from “Match the Animals.”

 Hunter handing me the card that matched the one I showed him.

 Looking through the letters in the “Ocean Animals ABCs.”  This does not include the entire alphabet- only 8 letters- which is perfect for a toddler.

 Hunter loved the counting book “How Many Animals in the Sea?”  He counts to 3, so he enjoyed doing that.  The book goes up to 5, which again is perfect for a toddler.

Hunter looking over the colors in his “Coloring Ocean Animals” book.

This Tot Book was a lot of fun and Hunter really enjoys it!  I have left it out where he can get it and I have found him looking at it several times.  I made the cover for it, but you can get all of the other printables to make it from 1+1+1=1.
