Tot School

Hunter is 15 1/2 months old.

It was another fun week at Tot School this week.  We are still working on the color yellow and we started some Earth Day activities too.

The weather started out beautiful at the beginning of the week.  Since that doesn’t usually last long where we live, we got outside and enjoyed it.

Hunter enjoyed painting with water.  He had a little bowl with water in it and he would work to use all of his water up and then bring me the bowl and ask for more.  He did this for a very long time, several times.

He stopped for a minute to check the back yard for Hailey.

Hunter used the yellow do-a-dot marker to make a picture.

Hailey was busy writing her spelling words outside using chalk and Hunter wanted to join in.  So, he colored outside with yellow chalk.

I wrote Hunter’s name on a piece of cardboard using my hot glue gun.  Then Hunter painted it yellow.

Hunter loved feeling his name!  You can see the full post about this here.

We just started doing Earth Day activities, so I only have one to share today.  This was a very easy one- color a coffee filter with washable green and blue markers (they must be washable for it to work) and then spray it with a mist of water.

I’m a little late in getting my Tot School post up… we were out of town all weekend for my cousin’s wedding (it was beautiful!) and since we have been home my blog has not been loading, or has been loading so slow that I couldn’t actually do anything.  So, hopefully it’s working now.

Our theme this week was yellow.

Hunter checking out his new yellow sensory bin.

He read his book about colors.

Hailey helped Hunter make a Yellow Sunshine suncatcher for our color window.

Hunter also played with yellow play-doh.  I had hoped if he had his pacifier in his mouth that he would not try to eat the play-doh… but he still ate it.  So maybe we will wait a while before we do play-doh again.

He colored with a yellow crayon.

Hunter also made a rainstick (see the full post here).

Tot School

It was a busy week at Tot School last week.  The week started with the stomach bug for Hunter, add some yucky stress and worry about other stuff, preparations for Easter, then the week ended with the stomach bug for Hailey.  It was not a week I want to repeat.  But we did manage to get some Tot School done.  Our theme for the week was Easter.

Our mall has this little soft play area that Hunter enjoys playing in.

We had to go to the mall a couple of times last week, so Hunter had a lot of fun playing in the play area!

Hunter loved playing with the plastic Easter eggs.  He would put them in the egg carton…

…dump them out and repeat.

Hunter loves water play, so he had a great time playing with his eggs in the water.  It’s really not that messy if you only use a small amount of water and most kids love it.  This kept his attention for a long time!

We put some macaroni into a couple of the eggs and then I taped them shut.

Hunter loved shaking his noisy eggs.

Rolling the eggs down the ramp.

Of course we dyed Easter eggs, which Hunter really loved!

And then he squished his egg apart.

Hunter made this cute Little Chick.  (See full post here.)

He also made the Empty Tomb.  (See full post here.)

Our focus this week was still on the color green and our theme was Easter.

I made this little box using a shoe box- I just cut some holes and added the colored tape just to make the holes stand out a little bit.

Then I gave Hunter some items to put into the holes- this kept his attention for a pretty long time.

I cut up paper towel tubes and put them into a muffin tin and put it down on the floor (idea from Pinterest).  Hunter went over to it and sat by it, but didn’t know what to think of it.

Once I started taking some out he joined in and took them out and put them back in.

He tried really hard to put the tube back together.  This only kept his attention for a short time.

Hunter practiced coloring with a green crayon.

He liked making it roll, he thought that was fun.

We made this adorable little green frog (see full post here).

After doing lots of practicing the color green, I think Hunter gets it.  On Saturday I asked him to give me a green toy- he went and looked through his toys and found a green toy for me.  Then I had him do it again, giving a green toy to Hailey and then one to Rich.  I was so excited!

We also made this really cute Easter Eggs (that I found on Pinterest) using strips of scrap paper.  (See the full post here.)

This is Hunter’s completed egg, he put the strips down just how he wanted.

We also made Easter Eggs by putting painters tape onto a piece of paper…

Then Hunter colored it with wet chalk (idea from Pinterest).  When we took the tape off it made a really cute design.  (See full post here.)
