Tot School

- Adam is 37 months -

Sorry for the picture quality….my camera was left at my parents’ house so these were taken with my camcorder and the quality isn’t great.

I had everything planned and ready to go for our week on “Corduroy” (using Before Five in a Row) but we have all been sick going on 2 weeks now, my voice was practically gone and I couldn’t make it through 2 sentences without coughing.  That makes it hard to read for extended periods of time!  So, we bagged “Corduroy” and will pick him back up later.  Adam was still begging for “Top School” so I pulled out some things and let him choose.  (There was also a lot of movie/TV watching and laying around going on too)

Water Colors

Button ArtHe LOVES this!  My mom gave it to him for Christmas and he played with it multiple times this week.  I’m not sure where she bought it, but I found it on Amazon here.

Beads, an ice cube tray and a measuring cup….one of our good old standbys. 

ABC Fish matching game

Funny Face file folder game 

Number MatchingI just picked up these number magnets (as well as letters) at Target for $1.  I kind of like that the font is a little bit funky….it helps him learn to recognize the number even if it looks a little different than normal.

Then we pretended they were cookies and he put them on this cookie sheet (yuck, time for new cookie sheets!) and had fun baking and eating them….several times. :)

Melissa and Doug
24-piece wooden puzzle
We gave him 3 of these puzzles for Christmas but we’ve only gotten them out a couple of times.  He needs a lot of help but we just work on one animal or dinosaur at a time and he does well picking out the pieces that will match and figuring out how to fit them together.  I was going to get him 12-piece puzzles but a friend recommended the 24-piece ones and I’m glad I got them.  I like giving him a challenge!

I am almost done preparing next week’s winter/snow theme so I’m praying that I’m feeling better so we can actually do it!  I’m really the only one that seems adversely effected by being sick, so if Mama is feeling good, Tot School will go on!
