Tot School: U is for Umbrella

Kayleigh is 40 months old

Too bad we weren’t doing Q this week because we had a very Quiet week.  Mackenzie was at camp so Kayleigh got to be an only child for a week.  She enjoyed having all of my attention.
This week our Tot School focus was Uu.  Almost all of our activities came from COAH’s Letter of the Week program.  If you haven’t checked it out yet, you should. 
Kayleigh got to do some cooking this week.  She helped make mini-pizzas for our lunch.  She was so excited!

She got out her foam ABC blocks.  She likes to organize them by color inside the bin.  LOL  Either that or build towers.

We played with out Leapfrog magnets on our new table top magnetic white board.  So cool!!

We worked on fine motor skills by spooning marbles onto an upside-down bath cling.  She ALWAYS loves this.

We practice cutting using Kumon’s Let’s Cut.  This was my favorite activity of the week because she did SUCH A GREAT JOB cutting!!!   She was pretty much on the lines the whole time.  Woot!!

Then we taped the pieces together.  Tape is a real treat for Kayleigh.

  1. Such fun learning! I miss those kinds of activities! Any suggestions for a "space" sensory bin? Sam's OT said that he just found the ones they had before he was discharged and suggested I create some. We're studying Apologia Astronomy in the fall. (Might take me that long to put one together! LOL) Moon sand? Where do you get your sensory bin ideas?
