Tot School

~Krash is currently 36.5 months old~

I didn't get many action shots of Krash working this week, but we had lots of Tot school fun! I think I am just going to set up the shelves for the week for the summer and then supplement with a few extra activities each week. It is easy for the summer and gives him something to look forward to each week! Here's what he did this week...

Spooning jewels from his new $1 (Target) bucket, into a paint tray (from AC Moore). He was able to make a pattern with my guidance, it was neat...

He "read" to Pac Man...He loves these Vehicles in a Box Puzzles and did all 4 in the box with my help. I put the corners in for him and then he can usually find the pieces from there...We made the Hh projects that were shared on Totally Tots today, K LOVED this, and was so proud of his work hanging up, we need to do more projects like this!!! Eventually these will be added to his ABC notebook.
Here's photos of the rest of his trays, I didn't get action shots of...

Monkey Math--this is a neat addition game, you place the bananas on each side to balance when the numbers are equal. Obviously K is not working on addition, I just put it out for fun and some number ID. I put out Perler Beads to string onto a pipe cleaner...He loved playing with the Connect 4 game. I used it to practice taking turns with him, and also red and black :)Finally, his soft ABC blocks...He had big-brother practice with our sweet ladybug...And here's my favorite Krash shot of the week...

If you have a tot (approximately ages 1-3) at home, join in the fun and share what you're doing with your tot! Here's how to get started if you're new...

If you've never read this: Go HERE 1st for more details- please do!!! Then if you have any ideas you'd like to share, link up your exact post to Mr Linky (if you have questions about how to do that, let me know in a comment or email-links to homepages will automatically be deleted).

New: when you add your name(blog name) to Mr. Linky will you put your tot's age (in months) after it, like this: 1+1+1=1 (36 mos)? I think this will help new readers a lot as they look for ideas for their specific aged tot!

If you are unsure of how to add your direct link to Mr Linky-I added a tutorial with photos here, scroll down to see it!

More great ideas as usual! I always love to see what you come up with. I think I will probably use the bucket and paint pallet idea soon! We all sick this week so we put tot school on hold, but hopefully we will be back next week. Can't wait to see what everyone did this week though!

RockerTot has played with Connect 4 when his big brother was here. I'll have to bring it out again. I love the pic of him in the carrier!

I love reading your blog and getting ideas, too! :)

I don't know how to link mine up because I have four entries this week since it was our first week with Simon (37 months) and his workboxes. We had a lot of fun, though, and I am in major planning mode for preschool part 1 next year! :)

Thanks for hosting Tot School!
