Weekly Activities: Y week

Well, we finished up y week. I am glad, because like I said before there are not too many y words. Thursday the boys were eating yogurt and Jax made a huge mess as usual. I decided to give him a piece of paper and let him paint with his yogurt. Plus, yogurt starts with Y. Hooray! He had a blast, but Sawyer didn't want to join in. He said yogurt doesn't go on paper. I told him it was o.k., but he was not interested.I don't have any pics, because my battery was charging that morning.
I changed out their buckets this week. I tried to incorporate y in a couple of the buckets. I put yellow play-doh and a few tools in one bucket. Another bucket had yarn and this water bottle.
Jax did this twice for short periods of time and I don't even know if Sawyer touched it all week. Oh, well.
They both loved transferring water from bowl to bowl. Sawyer was able to get his own water and bring it to the tray. The good thing about this is that when they spilled they just used the sponges to wipe up the mess.

In another bucket I put multi-colored pom poms, tweezers, and an egg carton. Jax loved this activity, but he wasn't able to really use the tweezers. He wanted me to help him and he was trying so hard.


I bought these foam beads at the dollar tree last week. Sawyer enjoyed it. Jax wasn't able to get the beads on, but he could get them off and he also liked to stack them.


They both had fun playing with stickers. Last week I had stickers in a bucket and they weren't interested at all. This week I took them out, but they asked to do stickers just about every day. Sawyer loves these sticker books from Chic-fil-a.

Another option I gave the boys was flower arranging with yellow flowers. They each tried this for about 2 minutes on Monday and then moved on.
I have changed out the buckets and am looking forward to another week of learning with my boys. We will be starting the letter z today.
