Tot School ~ Pumpkin Fun

~Ladybug is currently 30 months old~

 

Note: we took a week off of Tot School Printables and will pick back up next week!.

 

  

Her shelves were mostly PUMPKIN themed, with a few random items!

On her shelves… 

• top shelf…Pumpkin Songs and Fall Sensory Bin {updated with added pumpkins}
• top left shelf…Magnetic Alphabet
• top middle shelf…Guidecraft Weight Box
• top right shelf…ABC Puzzle {Target $1 last year}
• bottom left…Mini Pumpkin Erasers, tweezers transfer
• bottom middle…Foam pumpkins into slotted canister
• bottom right…orange and green zip ties {Dollar Tree} into empty parmesan cheese bottle

She loved the addition of pumpkin items to her fall sensory bin…

Poking zip ties into the cheese holes…

Tweezing pumpkin erasers, she LOVED this!

She decided to use her tweezers to transfer the foam pumpkins too…

Putting the foam pumpkins in the slot…

We got out our weight matching activity for the first time.  It is too advanced for Ladybug but we had fun practicing vocabulary with them.  She also really loved stacking them…

She chose this puzzle a lot, she’s very into singing her ABCs…

She loves the ABC magnets…

 

We had a pumpkin week and since my girl is obsessed with coloring, I set up a coloring station for her.  I just printed 2-3 of each page, and punched a hole in the corner and hung them on some hooks I had so she could see her choices.  I got the coloring sheets from my Pumpkin Preschool Pack, Confessions of a Homeschooler, and Education.com.

She loved this and colored many of them!!!

We practiced the ABC song slowly while she added a pom pom on the cookie sheet for each letter we sang.  She loved this!  This printable is in my pumpkin pack.

She’s very into tracing these days…

 

We had a blast on a recent field trip to Hawk Mountain, where we learned all about raptors.  After the program we went on a really cool hike and Ladybug wasn’t very impressed.  She was a pistol most of the time, but still oh so cute.  She did enjoy wandering on her own, but when it came time to ride on Daddy’s  back in the Ergo, she screamed.  So, he carried her and she was happy.

  

 

Mad Kitty.  Screaming “NO PICHER” at me.
