Tot School ~ Easter Fun

~Krash is 46 months old~

~Ladybug is 11 months old~

Learning Toys We dug out our Magneatos and Krash made fireworks. The best part was his detailed {hilarious of course} descriptions of how the fireworks worked and what they looked like.

We had some Egg and Spoon Race fun!

He is VERY into clocks and time. We are still doing a time of the day with our calendar time, but he needed more time fun so we got out the cards and clocks and he just played with them for so long! {that white clock was a consignment sale find for a dollar!}

He has progressed in the progressive puzzles, he can now do the 6 piece puzzles!

Krash is finally into building things, and was VERY proud of his towers!!!

Theme

We began our weeks of Easter Fun! I have tons of things, so we will keep this theme through Easter’s arrival! Everything you’ll see below can be printed from links in the Totally Tots Mommy Made Printables Post! {I used things from Erica-Confessions of a Homeschooler, Erin-Homegrown Hearts, and my own Tot Pack!}

One of our very favorite things, the colored baskets and eggs from Erin. I laminated everything and put small velcro dots to help hold it all.We played several games with these {and aren’t done yet}. Here K is flipping over one at a time with me to name the color and find it’s home. It is good taking turns practice too.

The next time we used the eggs we got out tons of energy!!! I gave 3 baskets to K and 3 to Pac and then hid the eggs accordingly {easier for K and harder for P}. They had a race to see who could find their eggs the fastest. I purposely put the baskets far away so they would have to run a lot {wear them out=possibility for a nap}.

On another day I also tried to wear him out. I put all of the eggs in a basket and laid the baskets in a row. He had to run to get one from my basket and then run as FAST AS HE COULD to put it in the correct basket…all while yelling out the color! We plan to use these eggs and baskets much much more!

I finally got around to making pom pom magnets and K loved them! Here he is using them to work on the He is Risen! page…

He colored one color per day in his Jelly Bean Prayer mini book {from my Tot Pack}…

We read an adorable {and very inexpensive} book I got the boys, My Jellybean Prayer Book. I also bought him smelly Jolly Jelly Beans Stickers, he had fun making a lovely picture for us to hang up ;-)…Pac Man helped Krash with our new egg file folder game. We played the Easter Dice Game several times! The boys made patterns with eggs…

K completed the entire Spring ABCs file folder…

We are almost done with Moses and Krash colored a picture of Moses to put on the front of our final folder which will hold all of our Moses stuff!

Tiny Tot School We made Ladybug some shakers out of breastmilk bottles! While searching for a new item, I saw these and realized they are the perfect slim size for her little hands. Pac Man helped me fill them with neat things. We used: pom poms, mini erasers, small beads, small linking shapes, rice, beans, and wiggly eyes. She loved them!!! Although the cat was a bit distracting, she loves Buddy too!

P showed her how they roll down the slope of the upside down basket…this made her giggle! I hid them under her rings for her to find… I stacked them up for her to knock over…

Ladybug continues to love her books, Pac Man continues to be an amazing biggest brother.

She also enjoyed playing with blocks this week {mostly just banging them together}.

Life School

Pac Man was learning about magnets while K was “sleeping”. He wandered downstairs and just had to be included! He had fun seeing which things float… Then he checked to see which things would attract to the magnet…

We did this neat trick, which he loved!!!

Moms Favorite

Ladybug’s birthday is less than a month away and we just couldn’t wait to give her her birthday present ;-)…a new swing! It was warm and sunny and just begging to be put up for her. Do you think she likes it?
