Tot School: We're Back!

Tot School
We are finally starting to settle into our new home. This was the first time in a few weeks that I actually planned learning activities for the boys. We are just getting back into the swing of things, so we didn't do as much as I would have liked. We did one craft on Monday.

The boys made a red collage. Jax is still learning his colors and Sawyer is learning his color words, so we are going to focus on one color a week. This week we learned about the color red. One day we all dressed in red and found everything red in our house.

They also put beads on red pipe cleaners. Sawyer spelled the word red with letter beads.
I found this Noah's Arc toy at a garage sale a few weeks ago. It has wooden animal cut outs that the boys can match. It also has a little handmade wooden arc. It is so cute and the boys love it.

Sawyer also did this color matching activity.

Jax had fun transferring red pom poms with a spoon. I am still surprised by how much he loves these simple activities.

He is getting more into puzzles lately. Here he is putting together a puzzle on our new play table.



Jax helped me water our tomato plants every morning. He also decided to wash his car and give himself a bath on this particular day.

Both boys love to play with their cars these days.

I caught Sawyer reading a book in his new chair. I love that my boys love to read. It makes me so happy when I find them sitting quietly with a book.

Check out Carissa's Blog and see what other tots did this week.

I looks like you guys had a really fun week of learning! I always forget about pipe cleaners and everything there is to do with those. I need to find some beads today and get those out. Great ideas!
