ABC Bingo

I'm trying to teach my 4 year old all his letters without doing worksheets and book work. He loves games and being hands on, so I'm been exploring different ways to teach them. He knows about half his letters with minimal worksheets.

So I decided to try and come up with an idea he would love. Then it occurred to me... he *LOVES* Bingo.  I went into Word and created my very own Bingo. All together the process may have taken me 2 hours, because I made the boards from scratch (using only Clipart at the bottom) and I laminated them. I could have hand written these, but I love to make things that will hold up against two boys (Heaven knows some days even *I* can't hold up against the two of them!) But feel free to use whatever you have on hand!

We played 4 games and Sport beat me in all except 1, which was the first game :). We just used cut up scraps of paper to cover the letters.



He was clearly concentrating very hard ;) I'm glad that I did this because he was so interested and it held his attention for a while (that says A LOT) This maaaaay have been the only thing I got accomplished today except for cooking and baths, whoops, but the night is still young!

I'm including these boards for download for your *personal* use. Don't go selling them to anyone ;) If you see any typos (repeated letters, etc) feel free to tell me in the comments so I can adjust them!

The link for the bingo boards is HERE There are 10 boards plus the letters for calling. We laminated those as well and put them in a cup for calling!

Happy Bingo!

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 ...
