Multicolored Tot School Week

Archer is 21 months

Archer was very sick during this week, so I did not get very many action shots. We also did much less structured activity than normal. I kind of just went with what he felt up to doing.

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 books.  I got out two of his Non-Fiction Sight Words books and one of his Meet the Phonics books.  I also hung up some of his "artwork."

Multicolored 3 Part Cards

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). 

On top of the shelf we had his Trucks Color Matchup game. Then I had some domino pattern cards, a wooden peg puzzle and his sorting food. On the right were his felt shapes with a giant die, his gears caterpillar, two part puzzles, wooden rainbow, a button snake, some colored rings and balance pods, and his basket of vehicles.

This kid loves all things trucks! Here he is playing the Trucks Color MatchUp Game with Daddy.

With Archer being sick, we did way more screen time than normal. This Math 3-5 game was a big hit.

Black and White Tot School Activities

Archer is 21 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 books.  I 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 some of his "artwork."

White foods word cards (free here). He read all the words and pointed to the pictures, but wanted me to actually place the cards together.

Playdough this week had white dough, some dice, some large googly eyes and a textured roller.

I threw together a quick sensory bin with white rice and black beans. We put some of his black and white animals in for fun. He asked for it several times.

Stamping. I gave him a washable black ink pad and his shapes stamps.

Chalk and white paint on black paper.

On top was Frankie's Food Truck Fiasco. The shelves had some black and white animals to sort, a unifix pattern activity, colored cars and garages, blocks from Pattern Play, 2-part puzzles, a wooden peg puzzle, black and white animal figurines, Magnaflex, a lacing cow and his basket of vehicles.

Gray Tot School Activities

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 books.  I 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).

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

 Coloring his Gray Book (free here). Gray was a bit harder, so we only had crayons, a colored pencil and a marker.

Bin of miscellaneous gray/silver objects. Since many were metal, I got out some magnets also.

On top was Acorn Soup (we're trying to get in more games for him). The shelves had a wooden puzzle, Rollipop ball roller, two part vehicle puzzles, a basket of gray animals, a clear container with paperclips and magnets, a bin of silver/gray objects, Inchimals and his basket of vehicles. We also brought up the Hilltops, which usually live in the basement.

Honestly, I kind of forgot about our Inchimals, from when Xander was younger.  I shouldn't have waited so long to get them out.  Archer really enjoyed them!
