Tot School

Izzie is 38 months old.

We had another fun week of Tot School. This week on the shelf, there were several new activities about leaves!

This was a very simple matching activity. Izzie placed the different color leaves in the correct basket. (Not sure where I found this activity...printed off last year before I started blogging.)

This was a favorite, Izzie really enjoyed tracing the leaf. Traceable leaf is from Kids Soup.

I found this super fun game at My Montessori Journey. Click here to see more details about game.

Falling leaves created by Izzie!

In addition, Izzie participated in Naturally Curious Tots this week. The theme was Animal Tracks and Homes. Click here to see earlier post with more pictures and details.

Izzie matched the animal tracks to the correct animal. Cards are from Montessori For Everyone.

And she completed her Matching Animals With Their Homes puzzle. Similar puzzle found here.

Other activities of the week included:

Teaching Mac how to push her shape sorter walker.

Playing with "Mac's" new My Pal Scout by Leapfrog. Grandparents visited for the weekend and brought each girl a new toy. Izzie received the game, Don't Break The Ice, but preferred playing with Mac's new puppy!

stART: Fall Leaves Fall

For our stART project this week, we read Fall Leaves Fall.

I found this really neat game at My Montessori Journey. Izzie had a lot of fun playing.

Object of game: roll die to determine what corresponding leaves to put on tree and first you must roll a 6 to get your tree! In addition, after all the leaves were on the tree, Izzie rolled the die to see which leaves were "falling off the tree". Very fun!

Izzie created tissue paper leaves for the back door. They add a nice touch of autumn!

I had planned on taking Izzie and Mac on a nature walk...to look at (jump in) leaves, but the raining weather made it impossible.
