Last week was my son's first week of Tot School, but I'm sure we've essentially been doing some of it a little longer. If you haven't heard of Tot School, check out the website here, or click on the button above. They have some really great ideas!
Here are some of the things we did this week...
Finding hidden "treasures" in a bucket of beans...
He liked the way the beans felt on his hands!
So, then we tried scooping and pouring...
It was much easier for him to use his hands...
Good thing he loves to help Mama vacuum! :)
We also did a little bit with the letter "A"...
I made a simple book for him
with pictures of "A" things... including relatives! :)
He loves trying to find things, and pointing to them! :)
Then we played with 'A'nimals... Here he is finding the pig.
I think this is my favorite! In case you can't tell,
that's a shark eating a giraffe... ;)
We also played some "fill and spill" with a plastic bottle and pipe cleaners.
He also liked destroying the bottle...
We had a fun time learning! :)

That looks like such fun!
What a great series of activities! I often fall short of ideas for my son - somehow it always comes down to going to the park or playing "chase." I love your ideas - can't wait to put some of them into action!
How cute. Who wouldnt want to find treasures in a bucket of beans!! Way fun!
Over from SITS.

What a creative mommy you are!
Very impressed... and I bet he loved it!

P.S. I'm giving away a subscription to House Beautiful. Interested?

Wow!! Great ideas! Lots of textures, and fine motor skills being used.
Super!
my daughter only likes the "spill" part and not the fill part! cute idea!
Found you via SITS and thanks so much for the great link to Tots School. I've been looking for fun & educational things to do with my toddler (that won't bore my 6yr old) and this is a great resource.
Thanks!!
