For Ladybug’s Tot School, this week, we have a pumpkin theme! On Sunday I will share in our weekly Tot School post photos of her interacting with all of this. This set up was created for Ladybug who is currently 3 1/2, many activities could be enjoyed by younger or older tots. See my post about following the lead of the child here.
I set up her Tot Trays with a pumpkin theme, with her sensory play area up on top.
On her trays are many printable activities that require scissors and/or glue {most are from my Pumpkin Packs}. Also there is a pumpkin eraser roll and transfer {she rolls the dice and transfers that many to the mini ice cube tray with the tongs}, and a color cubes pumpkin activity I made for her {I added the printable to the Pumpkin Printable Pack}. Some orange play dough and pumpkin cookie cutters finishes up her trays.
Her desk area hold her printable supplies, her supply bin, her dry erase markers and eraser {in the pumpkin}, her dot markers, her mini markers, and her Pumpkin Fun Notebook!
Her notebook is FILLED with pumpkin printables she will enjoy. You can see links to everything I used on my Pumpkin Fun Pinterest Board…
Her sensory play area is up on top…
Included in the bin itself:
- mini foam cut out pumpkins
- mini pumpkin erasers
- little plastic pumpkin bins
