~Ladybug is currently 39.5 months old~
Here is her desk set-up for letter R. I added some letter fun, featuring the letter R using our Letter Construction set, our alphabet peg set, magnetic R and fishing rod, Rosie’s Red Radish {these are at Costco right now I have heard, for a great price!}, and Letter R soup can.
The printable items are available here on the Animal ABCs webpage. {files are released for free when they are posted on the Totally Tots blog for the ABC feature, letter R is not free yet, but it will be once it is posted on Totally Tots!}.
More Letter R/Raccoon Fun…
She chose to finger paint her letter R…
She cut all of her raccoons by herself!
She glued her raccoons down on another day…
We used play dough to make the letter Rr…
Here she is working on Letter Rr Dot Fun, we used magnetic gems one day, and then went back to it with finger paints. This set is included in the Animal ABC Bundle, or you can purchase the set as a stand alone set for $1.25 on Teacher’s Notebook.
Special Note: Please read my post about Following the Child’s Lead if you have a tot and need info about this. All tots are different and what Ladybug is doing may not be appropriate for your child, even if s/he is the same age!
She loves the Froggy Feeding Fun game. Personally I think the frogs are a bit too tough for little kids, but that doesn’t seem to hinder her interest at all. She just gets me to squeeze the frog while she feeds him…
Or, she uses 2 hands and gets me to feed him…
Foam block fun…
Playing catch…
I got her some new Aquadoodle tools in the Target toy clearance last week and it renewed her interest, BIG time!
She still loves to play with the Design and Drill like this…
We played lots of Connect Four, tot style {no rules}.
Sorting our Measuring Motors by size…
Creating with the Busy Hands Play Dough Box…
Play dough puzzles using our wooden shapes from this toy.
We recently got this Alphabet Soup set and I LOVE it! I am planning to pull the cans down one at a time as we work through letters this time, and then again when she does RRSP. As she advances, we will use them for sound sorting!
We had our annual church picnic and it poured down rain right before we arrived, leaving awesome puddles to jump in…
One of our friends had just picked up their chickens and were holding them in the back of their truck while at the picnic, Ladybug LOVED petting one!
She went on the swing all by herself for the first time! Usually she is scared and wants to sit with us!
The bigger kids had a sack race and she desperately wanted to join them! Daddy helped her hop after they were all done!
Ladybug continues to love her games on the iPad, here she was snuggled in our bean bag, playing Starfall.
We got a new free app {it was free for a limited time} called ABC Wildlife, she really enjoyed it!
