Last week, in addition to doing most of our regular lessons (outline here), I printed off some of the tot pack activities from 1+1+1=1 Since we love to read The Very Hungry Caterpillar
, I decided to start with those printables. I printed the different sizes of caterpillars, cut them out, and laminated them. There are actually five sizes, but we only used three. A few times during the week I got them out and pointed out the big/large caterpillar, the medium/middle caterpillar, and the small/little caterpillar. Right now, I am just focusing on introducing the vocabulary that goes with sizes. Eventually, I will have him point to them as I name them, or even put them in order, but those activities are still a ways off.

Not only did he like watching me order them for me, he also enjoyed throwing them around.
I also happened to find some colored spools at a garage sale. We have been stacking and sorting them lately. Of course, he really enjoys knocking down towers I build him.
For some reason Xander really wanted to hang on to the couch while playing with them, hence the awkward position.
Yummy.
