Like I said last week, Henry was gone for several days last week, so I decided to continue the Farm Theme at Tot School again this week.
We used the same trays as last week, which were still a big hit. So this week, I thought I would share all the other toddler farm activities we've been working on!
First up, our book bin was back this unit. Henry enjoyed the books, but still had a hard time dedicating tot school time to reading. I'm working on some big changes for our former book bin and activity wall, I just need some time to get it altogether!
Science Experiment: watch-them-grow farm capsules {Target dollar spot}. Henry loved these, and actually has still been playing with the little sponge shapes.
Lots of farm puzzles!
Dot an F. But instead of using dot painters which Henry was getting tired of, I gave him stickers, which he loved.
Lots of farm themed toys including the iPlay Fun Tractor, Little People Farm, and Little Tikes Nesting Farm Animals! Farm unit seems to lend itself to a lot of great toys that make learning so fun. While these aren't necessarily geared for education, I think by playing with Hen and asking questions a lot of great learning took place.
Match the letter F game. I made a set of capital and lower case F's in corresponding fonts and colors, and then cut them apart. Henry could then match them up. He had a blast with this and played with it over and over for several days.
Dry erase tracing sheet. Henry still can't trace on his own, but will try with help. He mostly just wants to color.
Farm sheet from 1+1+1=1. I had Henry color this before we cut the pieces out and glued to another sheet. I made the mistake of trying to separate the crayons by color, which really made Henry mad for some reason -- ummm, toddlers are weird, that's best explanation for that. Anyway, he would barely color so the project was kind of a bust.
Food fun: lots of F's at breakfast!
It was a busy two weeks, but so much fun! I'm going to be sad to leave farms behind.
