Tot School

Tot School
Sawyer -3.5 years
Jax-2 years today
Last week we passed around a stomach bug, so we spent a lot of time at home in our pajamas. The boys were good little patients and we were able to do some fun tot school activities.

I saw this idea on Carissa's blog last week and thought my boys would love it. They jumped o the letters I called out. With Sawyer I would call out the sound or say bring me the letter that "dog" starts with. Jax just liked to jump, so I called out the letter name as he jumped and he would repeat it.

Here were some of Sawyer's favorite activities from the week. He loves puzzles and is really good at them. He got this Melissa and Doug 48 piece puzzle last week and worked it almost every day.

He also played his Leap Frog Word Launch game. This has been such a great game. I highly recommend it.

He also liked sorting and stringing these foam shape beads onto pipe cleaners.

Painting with water colors was also a big hit.

Jax spent a long time putting pom poms into this paint jar. It was a very simple activity that both boys enjoyed.


We talked about the letter D and made these ducks. The idea came from No Time for Flash Cards.

My littlest Tot turned 2 today! I can't believe how fast these past two years have gone by. We celebrated with our friends and family on Saturday. The party was a construction theme. We had cupcakes, dirt pudding, and pizza.

We got the boys a trampoline this week. Jax had a blast jumping!

The kids decorated construction hats with stickers.


Jax got some great puzzles, books, and learning toys for his birthday. I think I am more excited about them than he is. Here are two of the new Melissa and Doug puzzles.

This is my favorite picture of my big 2 year old boy. Oh, how I love this kid! The big one in the background is pretty special too! I am so blessed.

Check out what other tots did this week in tot school.
