This was P’s first week with official school off, we all are really enjoying the break. With 1st grade taking a break, everyday Tot School is even more fun! We all are enjoying our time together, here are some highlights from our week…
The boys continue to enjoy our We are . . . The Laurie Berkner Band
K learned how to wash the dog…
We worked on a bit of throwing with our cool dart ball game (we got ours a few years back from Lilly’s Kids
)
Both of my boys always love when this cool toy comes down. We got it for about $1 at a consignment sale and it has provided years of entertainment (here’s one similar to ours…Mini Roller Coaster
)
And, who says Cuisenaire Rods are only for older kids? We had a great time counting and talking about colors. I just had to make sure he didn’t eat the white ones!!!
We finally played with our new Color Mats…
K actually did better than I thought he would with them.
My mother in law saved my husband’s old cars and accessories, and both boys love this particular mini race track thing. Here K is counting the cars, we also used them to work on colors that day!
And *The King* was a great way to teach “Too Big” he wouldn’t fit through the little opening!
We still love our ABC floor puzzles, K is getting much better now at helping to put them together.
By far my favorite activity of the week was playing with our wonderful Magtastik set (they are recalled but Magneatos
are still available and almost exactly the same). K plays with these on his own a lot, they are a toy I don’t keep put away like many of our other Tot School toys. This day he was playing and I jumped in with him and we made things together. Here’s a letter V…
And he asked me to make an E…
I made him a square and he thought it should be a hat…
He helped me make an X (at his request)…
Here’s our triangle…
And finally, I made a B for him (also his request). This was super fun to do and we played for quite awhile!
And here’s a lesson in *dog-ear-biting* just in case you’d like your kids to try this too…

What a fun week you all had! Tot school in your home always is! I love those Magtastiks and the color mats – a great idea for Mai’s upcoming 3rd birthday. Thanks for sharing!
Bubble wrap is a fun play thing in this house too, my husband often brings it home from work for the boys. What a wake up call, when my boys get a hold of it in the morning before I crawl out of bed.
HAHA
So-o-o cute! I love those color mats! They are great. Who doesn’t like bubble wrap- it’s stress relief, too! 🙂
Looks like a fun week. I will work on my post! We did musical instruments too this past week!
Have a great week!

As always…CUTE, Neat, and fun! 🙂
My kids were drooling over your floor puzzle, and we all laughed at the ear biting. What a patient dog! 🙂
