Alex is now 38 months old.
He’s been looking forward to this week since he helped me make some of these materials about a month ago, and he was VERY excited to do Tot School this week!
The printables below (and a few extras) were made by Mommy & a very excited Alex, and you can download them by clicking here.
Unfortunately, with an eventful week, we only ended up with 2 mornings to work on this unit. I will probably just reuse it in a few months, since we weren’t able to do everything.
Max is at that sometimes-taking-a-morning-nap, sometimes-not phase. Let me just say that Tot School with Max is…uh..interesting! He had fun ripping off the velcro from our patterning set. :)
Race To The Toolbox game – we both had fun playing this game together! It’s great for number recognition and counting practice.
Alphabet letter recognition – he was really interested in this for some reason! Usually, he half-heartedly does this. This week, he would complete the page, empty it, and start over again!
Count & Clip cards – he’s really starting to grasp the concept of pointing to each object as he counts!
Size sequencing (or “making steps”, as Alex calls it)
Matching shapes
4 piece puzzles – very little interest in these :(
Patterning – he’s very interested in these cards, but doesn’t understand the concept yet. I don’t know whether to keep offering this activity each week, or to put it away for a few months.
Shadow Matching – he can do this in about 10 seconds now, and he’s starting to lose interest.
Stacking Cups with Max – they love to stack and knock down their “towers”! Max stacks, too, but his towers are often wobbly and out of order…too cute!
I hope you all had a great week with your tots, and don’t forget to check out what others did at Carisa’s website! (You can find a link to 1+1+1=1 on the right hand side of this page…)
