Vocabulary Development Theme: Ocean Animals

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

Ladybug’s coloring skills have improved dramatically! I am honestly amazed with her fine motor skills. She chose to color a LOT this week!!! She wanted to color her shapes this week, so that’s what we did! I colored some, she colored some-that’s how she likes it!

This purple jellyfish, however, she colored completely on her own.

I cannot believe she did this, neither of my boys colored like this at her age. She spent a good 30 minutes coloring this!

More coloring…

She did want me to color her jellyfish color cards, then I put them in our mini pocket chart for her to point out the color I called out.

We did shadow matching in the pocket chart too…

Counting too…

I have created a new section on my website entitled Montessori Printables, I am posting printables there that are created in a Montessori fashion. I am slowly transferring the Tot School Printables vocabulary cards into Match-Up/Memory Boards like this…

Yes-the whale is in the wrong place ;-), she fixed it!

This week I printed the page with the words and left it whole to use to match onto, she however, just wanted to color the animals!

You can see the Free Montessori Printables I have available, each set has an instruction sheet also to help you with how to use them.

Fun Books & Toys for this unit here!

Since we were having some ocean fun I brought out a few printables from my Nemo Tot Book and my Ocean Tot Book.

She especially enjoyed coloring the ocean animals. We did this over a 2 day period.

The second day she caught on and was telling me which color she needed next!

I tried to think with an ocean theme for her Tot Trays this week. I gave her “sea anemones” to spoon {a melon baller spoon} into the correct colored cups.

She LOVED this and did it several times this week!

I got out our tiny fish erasers {Oriental Trading} and a paint tray for her to tweeze them into {this particular pair came from a science kit we have, but similar tweezers are here}. She did this a few times, but definitely preferred the spikey balls!
