Tot School
~C is 21 Months~
This week we learned about the letter P
Painting the letter P pink
Enjoying some Little People Olympics
This was a favorite for the week! Find out more here
Painted foot and made penguin prints
Painted with Little People Dolls
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.

Little People Olympics
This morning Tip Junkie shared various Olympic Activities to do
with your family. One in particular caught my eye, from Silly Eagle Books - how to make your own mini ice rink. C has enjoyed the little bit of the Olympics she has seen, especially the ice skating events. We made the rink this morning and I set it outside for the day to freeze. When it was ready, I brought it inside and grabbed some of her Little People dolls.
Little did I know how much she would enjoy this. She absolutely loved it! Eventually it started to melt and I had to tell her it was time to put it away (outside to re-freeze). We will definitely be getting this out again tomorrow!
She really enjoyed making them dance and spin
The Olympics are almost over but here are some links that share several ideas

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 :)
