Tot School

Caeden is currently 31 months old.

Caeden and I had a great week of Tot School!  I set out a few old activities that I know were his favorites.  I also set out some that I thought maybe he could actually do this time.  I am not doing a theme anymore but incorporating some learning while we "play".

Sensory (fine motor):
C enjoyed using the play-doh off and on this week.  He actually is into using the cookie cutters that I set out for him to use.

 

 Art:
This week I set out chalk, Do•a•Dot's, and crayons.  

C's personal favorite art tool...

I captured this cute video of C counting as he was making "wheels".

I also printed off some coloring pages for him to work on and then allowed him to do scribbling "free drawing" on blank pieces of paper.

Fine Motor activities:
We have plenty of fine motor activities for C to use.  This week I set out his lacing cards, stringing beads, pattern blocks, and pom-pom/block transfer bottle (that I made).

String beads is something C still struggles with but is able to at least get one on before deciding to make a tower of the beads. :)

These pattern blocks are great for introducing toddlers to shapes.  C does this activity with ease now, but does get stuck with the correct way the triangles should go.

Pouring and transferring pom-poms and counting blocks.

Blocks:

C played with these nesting blocks a lot this week.  He mostly used them as a road for his cars, but he did stack them a few times!

Books:
C got these Tag Junior books for Christmas and he loves them! 

Cooking Time:
My husband and I decided to let C help us make soup the other day.  I thought this would be a fun activity for C.  He loved helping put the potatoes into the soup, and he loved stirring it too. :)

Outside Fun (in the snow!):
We've had a lot of snow the past week and C has enjoyed playing outside with Daddy!

That was our week of Tot School!  

Thanks for stopping by and checking out our activities!
