Tot school-Day #2!

Hey out there! Welcome back!

Day 2 of Tot School was 50/50! D was extremely cranky in the morning and was not much into the morning's activities! We did two activities back to back and they lasted 20 minutes together. Much different than the day before. I think it had a lot to do with his crankiness, because he didn't even want to play with anything. He just wanted to be cuddled. So that's what we did until he went down for his morning nap.

ANYWAY,
We did a ladybug painting and I let him get use to using a bingo dauber (it was going to be used later that day.)

So we started with the bingo dauber. And he LOVED it. But he mostly just liked daubing his hand...haha :)





Yeah, that's what his hand looked like all day yesterday! I washed most of it off, but in the afternoon, he did it again! :) I don't care much because he's having fun and that's all that mattered. 


We then went on to do a ladybug painting. I cut out black dots to add, but let him do all the painting. He used a combination of a paintbrush and his hands. 




The finished product! I knew he was done when he started to stand up and walk away, lol. So we washed him up and I added the black dots. It is now proudly hanging in our tot school/play room! 

Later that day, after a nap and lunch we went back to do a few more things! I let him use the dauber on the letter "A" that I made on the computer. This was the finished product. 


Yeah, he loved it, haha. Again, they are not going to master these letters, colors, or skills right away, but it is fun and I love to watch him explore. :)

The construction paper and rice was such a big hit that we did it again. And again it kept him occupied for 40 minutes together! 






Yes, it ended up all over my floor. Nothing the vacuum couldn't handle! He really just started picking up handfuls of rice and dropping them on the floor. I took a video, so take a look!






Alright, that's all for today, folks! :)

Farm week! Tot School

Image
This week for tot school we had a farm theme! I keep things super simple, usually doing music, crafts, reading, and sensory play. My son is 2.5 years old and is very interested in learning! He loves books, and music and trying to do puzzles. Books!  This week we checked out a bunch of books for school. I also got some older kid books for my 5.5-year-old so he felt included! I'll include links to Amazon as well, but we got ours from the library! The Little Red Hen (Makes a Pizza)  written by Philomen Sturges and illustrated by Amy Walrod. This book was very cute with a twist on a classic! Down on the Farm  was written by Merrily Kutner and illustrated by Will Hillenbrand. This book is simple, easy for toddlers to follow, and teaches them animal sounds. Down by the Barn  written and illustrated by Will Hillenbrand. Another simple to follow book for toddlers. Duck on a Bike  by David Shannon. This is a cute book where a duck decides to rid...

It's been a while!

So I didn't have internet for a little bit, then I did, but it went out for daysss, then we switched providers, then they sent us the wrong modem and long story short, it's been a while for various reasons! :) But I'm glad to be back. I've got a few things I want to update with. First I would like to start with D's playroom! When we moved in almost 7 months ago, the room was pink. When we tried to paint it red, we realized it was too close on the color wheel and the red did not cover all of the pink (even though we primed the wall and had primer in the paint!) so we had redish walls for a while! I started painting it white with some left over paint I had, but the paint smelt terrible, so I stopped (afterall, it was D's playroom, and that room has a window but the window goes to a storage room and not a real window, so no ventilation)  Well, fast forward a few months and the room still looked like that! I wanted to make it into a nice playroom for D. So I sent ...
