end of january- 22 months

Tot School

'almost' 22 months

Hide and Suprise!
*we haven't done this since his first birthday and he loved it all the more.
took him a while to get 'into' it and really dig to find the shapes, blocks, and letters that i had hid in the oatmeal- but he was happy to label the colors, shapes, and letters once he found them!
'My First Birdfeeder'
Painting fun and talking all about birds- encompasses fine motor skills,
color id, attention enhancement, and outdoor fun!

The Letter 'T' for the day!
-talked about all things that started with T for the day!
- used crayons and stickers to decorate!

Melissa and Doug Counting/Color sorter
- love love this toy!!
-engages tot in counting, color id, and shape id!
'spin spin a LETTER'
-he got this for christmas LAST YEAR and plays with it totally different now!
-learning new and refreshing already known animal sounds and letters
Shape Sorting!
-can never go wrong with going over shapes over and over if the tot likes them!....
then go around the house and try to find another shape just like it!!

1:1 correspondence!
-putting ONE letter in ONE empty hole
-I want to start working on counting correspondence, but figured I should make sure
he could master this first....and he can!
-of course it was fun to see what letters we found in a big bowl as we went along, too!


.... continued the correspondence and fine motor skills on a whim when i found him unwrapping an orbitz gum package- those things are HARD to get into!!!...so then we took the gum out and put them into the ice cube tray and counted them....yes, i let him 'taste' the minty gum too! now chewing- just licking like a lollipop! lol
