Tot School

Tot School

Izzie is 38 months old.

We had a great Tot School week. The shelf included a few new activities mixed in with some old favorite activities.

New activities included:

Izzie rolled the die and counted the correct number of pumpkins to put in the super cute pumpkin muffin pan. This is great for counting practice. (Pumpkin muffin pan and pumpkin erasers from Target and purple die from Dollar Tree)

More counting practice...I bought these paper pumpkins at the Dollar Tree, added a numeral with corresponding number of stickers, then cut in half to make a matching puzzle game.

Izzie is still working hard on mastering the tweezers. She was encouraged to use the tweezers to transfer the pumpkin erasers into the pumpkin ice cube tray. (Ice cube tray from Dollar Tree and plastic green tweezers from Michael's)

Izzie enjoyed matching up opposite pairs with this great game from Discovery Toys. It's a fun way to work on her speech therapy too.

Old shelf favorites this week included:

Matching capital and lowercase letters. To see original post with alphabet flashcards, click here.

Izzie also has a fun time working on copying patterns. This is her favorite one that I've made, probably because she gets to stack the apples on top of a picture of herself. To see original post with templates, click here.

She has a little more trouble copying these pictures, but still enjoys trying. Click here to see original post with more details and pictures.

This week, we also participated in Tree Hugging Tots and Open Ended Art.

The theme was moon for Tree Hugging Tots. Izzie created a full moon.

Henri Matisse was the showcase artist this week for Open Ended Art. Izzie worked very hard on her Matisse inspired fall collage.

Witching You A Happy Halloween

The girls and I had the best time making these foot-witches! I think they turned out so cute...it's my favorite Halloween craft that we've done this season.

Witching You A Happy Halloween!

I was inspired to make this spooky craft from here.

Halloween Felt Cookies

I made Izzie some spooky Halloween felt cookies!

stART: Go Away Big Green Monster!

We read, Go Away, Big Green Monster!, for our stART project this week.

This was Izzie's first time reading this book, I was a little uncertain at first about reading it to her. She isn't afraid of anything at this age, so I wasn't sure how she would handle a "monster", but she didn't seem to mind...she giggled each time we read it.

On morning, as I read the story, Izzie created a lower-case "m" monster.

Izzie also had a great time using her Dot markers on the Big Green Monster.

I found the face template and dot marker page here, which has a lot more activities to incorporate with the book.

Tree Hugging Tots: Pumpkins

This week's theme for Tree Hugging Tots is pumpkins! This was our first year craving a pumpkin with Izzie.

She refused to stick her hands inside the pumpkin...she kept saying that is was "messy" and "sticky".

However, she did enjoy scooping out the seeds with a spoon!

Our little pumpkin!
