Pink Totschool Week

Archer is 20 months

In August I posted our Color Themes Goals. Those are what I had in mind while we started Tot School this week, not actually learning the color.

His little shelf had a pink book.  As has become the usual, we had two Non-Fiction Sight Words books, two Meet the Sight Words readers and two Meet the Phonics books (he likes those better than story books at the moment).  The poster was free from Isla Hearts Teaching on TPT. I also hung up the pages to his color book (free here).

Pink word cards (free here). Sometimes he really likes these matching activities, and other times he gets bored matching them all.  He can read all the words, though (from watching the corresponding Little Reader lessons).

 Coloring his Pink Book (free here). 

Pink play dough and tools (these shape cutters are his current favorites and get used multiple times a week).

I mixed up some shaving cream with a little corn starch (equal parts makes a great consistency when playing outside) and let him play in the tub.  I gave him a brush and let him paint the walls, also.

Matching Pets vocabulary cards to words and Toob animals. 

Button snake with pink felt shapes.

Farm Babies Early Reader

Earlier in the week I shared some Farm Babies vocabulary cards I had made. To go with it, I also made this early reader.  (I used this same text on the Little Reader file). It has large, clear font on one page and pictures on the opposite.  If you wanted, you could also print one sided and have the text and images completely separate.

Below are a few sample pages. I printed the pages on cardstock, laminated them and used these 3/4" binder rings to "bind" the book.

Farm Babies Vocabulary Cards

I try hard to both follow my toddler's interests and expose him to new things.  Since he loves animals, I decided to teach him what different baby farm animals are called.  I made Montessori style 3 part matching cards (I also made a Little Reader file, but their website won't let me upload lessons right now). If your kiddo likes matching toys too, all of the animals in the Farm Babies toob are represented.

Yellow Totschool Week

Archer is 20 months

In August I posted our Color Themes Goals. Those are what I had in mind while we started Tot School this week, not actually learning the color.

His little shelf had a few Yellow books.  I also got out two of his Non-Fiction Sight Words books, two of his Meet the Sight Words readers and two of his Meet the Phonics books (he likes those better than story books at the moment).  The poster was free from Isla Hearts Teaching on TPT. I also hung up the pages to his color book (free here).

Yellow food word cards (free here). Sometimes he really likes these matching activities, and other times he gets bored.  He can usually read all the words (from watching the corresponding Little Reader lessons)

 Coloring his Yellow Book (free here). We used crayons, paint and a paint roller. I also got out a Water Wow book for another fine motor option if he wanted.

Bin of miscellaneous yellow objects.

Yellow play dough and tools (these shape cutters are his current favorites and get used multiple times a week).

This cornmeal "kinetic sand" mad a fun, but very messy sensory play activity (recipe from here).

Xander got some adjustable hurdles for Christmas, so we got them out for Archer to practice stepping over. We also rolled a ball under them.

Playroom shelves this week.  The goal of the toys is to entertain him and give him some fine motor practice.  Things like building, sorting and puzzles also provide some spacial awareness (math and even physics). 

These shelves had sorting food, a DIY Velcro Block, cars and ramps, the spinagain (out for several weeks because it got so much use), wobbles, Lucky Ducks, Crocodile Dentist, a sound puzzle, his airplane, a bin of yellow toys and some two part puzzles.  On top was his yellow color viewer.  

 

Archer did some baking with me, so we were practicing cleaning the counter.
