Sawyer-43 months
Jaxon- 25 months
Sawyer really enjoyed this farm tot book. This was the first complete tot book I printed out. I don't know why it took me so long to do one. Sawyer really loved it and Jax did some of the activities. I can't wait to do more.
We were out of town for a few days, so I didn't do much planning for this week. One day I didn't have any trays out and the boys asked for them. Sawyer wanted me to put play food on one of the trays. I wasn't sure what they would do with it, but I complied. Both boys ended up playing grocery store with the food.
We talked about the letter F and food this week. I also mixed in a few thanksgiving activities. They made this cornucopia. I wanted to put a link, but I can't remember where I found this. When I asked Sawyer what he was thankful for he said, "my brother named Jax, mommy and daddy, and my toys." The only thing Jax would say was "my brother".
Sawyer really enjoys coloring these days. For the longest time he didn't want to color at all or he would put a couple of marks ad say he was done. Now he colors really dark and uses just about every color in the box.
I got this cute indian corn idea from Ramblings from a Crazy Woman. She used paint to color the popcorn, but I decided to try food coloring, because I was afraid my kids might try to eat it. I am glad I did this!
Sawyer took his time putting the popcorn on his corn. Jax just wanted to eat the popcorn. I finally just got him a bowl to snack on while I finished his craft.
I thought they came out really cute.
We also made potato print turkeys. This craft was so fast and messy that I didn't get any pictures of the process, but here is Sawyer's finished turkey.
I drew leaves on a paper sack for the boys to paint. As I was looking for something for them to paint with Jax decided to finger paint, so that's what we did. I am going to cut them out and make this Thanksgiving garland. We made one last year, but there is no telling what happened to it in the move.
My Favorite Pictures from the week:
I don't think I will ever get tired of seeing my boys play together. Sawyer was playing 'This Little Piggy" with Jax's toes.
Go on over to Carissa's blog to see what other tots did in tot school this week.

How sweet that they are both thankful for each other! And so cute that they knew what they wanted on their tot tray, lol. :) I'm glad to hear that Sawyer is into coloring with crayons; my son is 38 months and is totally NOT interested in them. He'd much rather paint or use markers to draw. I remember loving crayons, so maybe it is something they grow into (hope so!). Thanks for sharing your great week!
Hi Meredith
I also have printed out from Carisa's blog the farm themed lapbook, I am yet to put it together. You have inspired me to collate it as I'm sure my daughter would love it as well.
It's so lovely to see your boys playing togehter and enjoying their grocery store game. We have just started counting out "money" to pay for our purchases when we play grocery store, so it is a hit around here at the moment.
How sweet that both boys were thankful for each other.
We have not done any vegetable printing yet. I like your idea of using potatoes for the Turkey craft.
Thank you for visitng my blog. I really appreciate your comments.
I love he popcorn corn! And the potato print turkey.
