Tot School

Nathan is 25 months old

This last week of tot school was a bit slack for us, but we still had lots of fun!!!

First up was painting night... complete with an eccentric purple hat my mom gave me for Christmas. Nathan insisted on wearing this hat for several days. :) Too funny!

stamping circles on certain frog parts and letters

finger painting an H

we had to stop and pray for the paintings... and his hands... and the purple hat

using a fork to "un-paint"

spoon vs fork and the different lines they make

erasing it with hands to start all over

working on spelling his name in the finger paint... told you it was a fun painting night!

Here we are working on following directions using prepositional phrases like "put the zebra on the red box" or "put the panda bear beside the monkey"

"put the cheetah under the blue box"

making animal families and following directions (gorilla family on the red, zebra on the blue)

pretend play with the wonder pets, talking about same and different, who should we rescue and how to rescue... so much learning with this!

I realized the other day that Nathan doesn't know his numbers! How could I have missed that? He can count to 11, but I hadn't thought to teach him to identify the numbers. This is us working on that. Put the panda on the 4, etc.

puzzle time

Dominos! This was so much fun!

Putting the wheels on requires quite a bit of coordination because one goes on each side of the digger.

identifying tools and their purpose and fitting them into the puzzle

stickers and letters

learning to build train tracks

fishing game: working on colors, matching, counting, turn taking, fine motor, coordination, etc

such a sweet concentration face

Our letter wall is growing!
