We inherited the Leap Frog Fridge ABCs this week. She pretty much only pushes the button that sings the ABC's. But I got her to push the letters a few times :)

We also made some crayons in a muffin tin - We made 1 pink and purple crayon :)

C's Grandma took her to story time at the library while I went to a Dr. apt. They had fun and came home with a few new books, including one about bringing home a new baby. C loves going to the library :)

Baby is due on Wednesday, so not sure how much we get done this week.
We may just take a few weeks off until things settle down a bit.

Tot School

C is 21.5 months

 

Ever since I saw this at Tired, Need Sleep I knew I would want to eventually make them. I didn't know it would be so soon :) C was playing with the (clean) inserts of her diapers (we use cloth) and making letters with them. So I thought I would cut up some foam pieces for her to play with. I have only made the lines, I will do curves later.

 

Before I cut out the letter O - I helped her make orange ovals on the letter O using her fingerprint

  

Here is the Orange Ovals and the Orange Octopus

 For the octopus I painted her palm and fingers and made 2 prints.

Then just painted 1 finger and made the legs longer.

 

I let her paint with leftover orange paint from the octopus

 

All the letters we have so far

(Century Gothic font, outlined and bold -size 500)

 Other O activities we did

We talked a lot about opposites - 

She played with these ribbons I made awhile back and practiced up/down, high/low, fast/slow, back/front.

 Also talked about loud/quiet, open/close, in/out and on/off.

Went outside a few times to enjoy the decent WI winter weather we have been having.

Watching the Olympics -- She likes to see the people on the Ice and Snow :)

This is C's favorite book. I printed a tree and taped it to a cookie sheet (Sorry, I do not remember where I found the printable!) Because we read the book more than once a day and watch this video on You Tube all the time, she is starting to recognize more letters.

C is 21 months old

This week we learned about the letter M!

I don't have many pictures from this week.

At the library the theme was "Yellow Moon" The project was to color and glue a moon on a piece of paper and put some star stickers in the sky. I never had an "M" activity planned, so this was it :)

We marble painted the letter M. C didn't like this at all. She wanted to pick up the marbles and paint with them like they were a brush.

She enjoyed putting popsicle sticks in the oatmeal container

Otherwise we just played with her toys, puzzles, tot tools, read lots of books. C loves the "That's Not My..." series by Fiona Watt. This week we checked out That's Not My Monkey from the library.

Hopefully this coming week will be a little more productive :)

This week we learned about the letter L

 

We discovered that toddlers are welcome at the pre-k storytime at the local library. C LOVED it, and especially enjoyed making a snowman craft project!

We also did a lot of the same activities as last week.
