Tot School ~ Letter Hh

~Ladybug is currently 24.5 months old~

Tot-School-Printables1121222

Tot School Printables H is for Hammer

Letter: Hh

Object: Hammer

Vocabulary Development Theme: Tools {Handy Manny}

You can find the printables for this unit here on the Tot School Printables webpage.

Why, oh why did it take me so long to buy a cookie sheet for school?  I meant to buy one when Krash was a tot and never remembered.  Finally I remembered while at Target, and it is awesome!  It amazes me how something so simple can engage a child so much!

We used our puff ball magnets {just take a pom pom and hot glue a magnet to it} to work with our printables…IMG_3695

IMG_3713

She even did the lacing card with magnets this week and really enjoyed putting them on the tiny circles.IMG_3716

LOTS of number work was done, like I said-AMAZING how a simple tool can change the entire activity!IMG_3722

IMG_3803

I created a new add-on for Tot School printables…dot paint shape pictures!  She loved this!!!  I am still finding a place to host my add-ons for Tot School printables, for now download the first few here!IMG_3811

We keep our magnets in a baby food jar and this is great work for her to dump, put them back, and screw the lid on and off!IMG_3829

I put velcro strips on the side of a drawer set and put her review flashcards up!  She has played with them a lot since I did this!

IMG_4079

We used our homemade play dough to make letters again, this time we used our wooden letters to stamp into the play dough, and put jewels in the dough.IMG_4319

She finger printed the dough again…IMG_4326

Then she added jewels to the letters…IMG_4333

She colored most of her hammers this week on her own!IMG_4094

 

She did a lot of dot painting again, this time after she had used the magnets and the cookie sheet.  It was great to use the printables more than once but in different ways!

IMG_4100  IMG_4105

Tracing was a big hit too and she traced on the lines a lot!!!IMG_4110

She really got into the erasing this week too!IMG_4113

Fun Books & Toys for this unit here!Tot School Printables Toys and Books Letter H

 

totbookheader

We got out our Handy Manny Tot Book and I was shocked with how MUCH Ladybug liked it!!IMG_4086

IMG_3729

 

Krash saw her working and wanted his own Handy Manny stuff.  I pulled out his Tot Book, which he made when he was about 2 1/2.  He couldn’t believe he didn’t color the entire thing and proceeded to color it all!IMG_4154

 

Krash used to be a big Handy Manny fan so we have his old toys and Ladybug is now in LOVE!  She really enjoyed watching Handy Manny with his tools sitting beside her!IMG_4160

 

She loved finding the tools that matched the book she was coloring!IMG_4173

 

 

Tot Trays

I finally got my shelves reorganized our shelves to get her started on Tot Trays! I only have room for 2 right now, but we have another trip to Ikea on the agenda so I can add another tall shelf and use the bottom rows for Tot Trays on the 2 units, using the bins for storage at the top.

For those of you wondering what the difference between our Tot Trays and our Learning Toys…the trays are activities I set up with specific thought in mind {think Montessori}.  The learning toys we use are usually spontaneous activities that occurred with other toys we had out and about during the week.

This week I set up Stacking Pegs and we worked together a LOT on the words push and pull.  She also gets very frustrated when she pushes too hard and they fall out, so we worked on dealing with dramatic moments!IMG_3673

IMG_3677

Later in the week she began stacking tall towers on her own!

IMG_4353IMG_4356  IMG_4359

 

She also worked a lot with Guidecraft’s Fraction Cups.  I started her with just the whole and the halves, modeling them for her while saying the names of the fractions.IMG_4065

Once she mastered the whole and halves, I added in the thirds.  There is one with fourths but she isn’t quite ready for that one yet-the pieces are too similar to the thirds.IMG_4341

 

 

Learning-Toys_thumb2_thumb_thumb_thu[2]

She spontaneously sorted the balls from our ball pit, into our colored hats!  Then I heard her counting them!!!!IMG_3664

Ladybug is a master color sorter!!!  She sorted Zoobs while Krash and I were building a car!IMG_3791

Enjoying some toys outside on a warm day, the gears toy always keeps her busy for awhile!IMG_4195

She finished coloring before Krash one day so I gave her the container to put her markers into the small holes. She did this about 5 times!IMG_4175

 

 

tub-of-fun_thumb2I set up a tool sensory bin for her, mostly toy tools, with a few of Daddy’s safe tools in it too, she loved it! IMG_3687

IMG_3691

She was very excited to find matching Handy Manny tools and was telling me “two tools”IMG_3693

 

 

Life-School_thumb2_thumb_thumb_thumb

We have enjoyed beautiful weather this week and spent lots of time outside.I still try to work with Ladybug as much as I can on her gross motor skills because of her delays.  She climbs a lot outside and often gets nervous but I love watching her try!

IMG_4235    IMG_4229

One of her favorite gross motor activities is walking up the roller coaster track and “running” down.  I hold her hands lightly and let her muscles climb her up the hill and she works on balance when she runs down.IMG_4278

Moms Favorite

Krash turned 5 this past week and we had his party yesterday.  Ladybug was enthralled with the balloons!!!!

My Fern is so beautiful. Still my favorite cat eve My Fern is so beautiful. Still my favorite cat ever. And that’s saying a lot!

I’m not very active on this account anymore mostly because my older kids don’t like to be photographed. I am passionate about fostering kittens and my foster kitten account @crazy_foster_kitten_lady is where I spend most of my Instagram time now.

I’ll share here every now and then, but I’m on the kitten account daily!
Have you ever seen Ivy Kids Kits? There are SO man Have you ever seen Ivy Kids Kits? There are SO many monthly kits for kids on the market now, but this one remains my favorite! We have partnered with @ivykidskits for many years and although my kids are now too old for them, I still spread the word!

This video shows a peek inside of a recent kit they sent us, Kermit the Hermit. You can buy individual kits or buy a monthly subscription!

It was a Christmas filled with many emotions. Joy, It was a Christmas filled with many emotions. Joy, happiness, excitement, surprise, sadness, longing, and a bit of emptiness. 

We celebrated with my parents on the 24th, and that was a very joyous celebration. We enjoyed church, gifts, food, and mostly one another. 

On the 25th we celebrated with my husband’s family and sadly we are missing our beloved Nana who went to be with Jesus a few weeks ago. We all did our best to honor her love for fun last night. We played games, we laughed, we ate well, but it was all mixed with a longing sadness, wishing we had her with us. 

The next to last photo is it Kyler and my father in law, who lost his very best friend. We just love him so much and pray for his continued healing as he grieves this horrible loss and emptiness. 

The final photo is of Nana’s grandkids each holding their collage of photos of them and their Nana. This gift brought some tears, but we can tell will be treasured by each of them. She was one of a kind, and so special to all six of them.

Tree decorating night! Goodness I love my kids. Tree decorating night! Goodness I love my kids.
I know many of you don’t know many of the people I know many of you don’t know many of the people in this photo, but I know many of you pray. The beautiful woman on the far left of the couch is my bonus-momma, my husband’s mom. She has stopped all treatment for her cancer and is going home to be with Jesus soon. We prayed for her to feel well enough to be with us at Thanksgiving, and though she felt pretty crappy, she was there. 

If you know her, you know what I mean when I say this is one of the kindest, most joyful, selfless people I have ever known. The world won’t be the same without her. We are devastated and hurting. We pray for her peace, her comfort, her pain, and for God to relieve her of the suffering. 

Last night was a huge mixture of pure joy and devastating sadness. We celebrated and hugged, and laughed, and we cried. It’s just so hard. Thanks for praying for our family. ❤️

She annoys all of our other animals just like a little sister should and keeps the humans on our toes too. She LOVES Lili, and is still BFF with Pebbles (Lili’s cat). So glad we decided to add this rambunctious ball of fluff to our crew!
