Mr. Smiley, 28 months
I’m combining two weeks worth of highlights . . .
Tot Trays
Toys tray activities included:
- putting spaghetti noodles in a jar (dog’s favorite)
- board books,
- Q-Tips through a hole in the paint container (Favorite!!!)
- placing play food in the bucket to go shopping.
Another round of Tot Trays contained:
- placing pretend diaper pins into a bag
- taking clothespins off chenille wire
- Brown Bear, Brown Bear Eye Spy bottle
The third round of Tot Trays:
- drop buttons through paper towel holder into bucket
- match Noah’s ark animals or carry them around in a bucket
- play with cotton balls and stacking cups
(He got rather upset at the fluff from the cotton balls sticking to his sweaty fingers.)
We started learning about Little House on the Prairie. They boys made log cabins from Valerie’s Lapbook Lessons website. By the way, there are GREAT picture books out now of Little House on the Prairie. We got ours through Paperback Swap.
Mommy Favorites
