F is for Fairy Wonderland!

 
 
{Livy is 3y9 months and Preston is 14 months}

Tot School
 
 Letter of the Week: F
Bible Verse of the Week: John 3:16
Books for the Week:  Life cycles, frog book. Blue ABC’s book
Bible Story: Fishers of Men


Language:
Activies provided from the EP website, Do-a-dot pages (trying to get more creative with them), Intended to make new Play-doh since the last batch was way too sticky :(, Letter writing with F, Emphasied name recongintion with "fish" name tags, Letter searching on printables page and gathering "F" items for discovery basket. I used a dry erase maker and wrote on the back of a cookie sheet and had her match up magnetic letters with what she saw. Something she really enjoyed this week was playing a Memory Game with letters A-F, upper and lowercase matching. We also dug through the rice/bean/pasta bin for the same letters and when she pulled it out, had to tell me what letter and sound it was.
 
Math & Motor:
We used a printable from the Fairy pack and I had her match up patterns and make ones of her own. She was not interested in coloring, cutting, or doing any other of the things I had ready for her for Math. We made several park trips and palyed outside quite a bit.

 
Pretend Play:
We made a very simiple Fairy Tale tub with white rose petals, a mini purple feather boa, a and sparkly purple fairy wand.
 
We also made a "frog habitat" bin with bluish/green water beads, plastic frogs, a bog of moss/natural looking decorations, and water.
 
Preston enjoyed both of the sensory bins, the pasta/rice/bean tub, the F discovery basket and lots of playing.
