We did lots of great activities this week...I have capped the pictures at 24...you are welcome;)
Granny and Ryleigh playing with a Melissa and Doug Puzzle
While Aunt Laura was visiting, she and Ryleigh worked on some puzzles... did lots of dancing... and worked on colors& shapes...
This week for our stART project we made pretzels... 
Braeden and Anna watching the girls play projects...
The girls did the dot paintings with the bingo markers again...they did these a couple of times this week...but I am just including a picture of one...mainly because it looks pretty much the same...:) 
The Letter of the Week for us was "K" (is for Kite). I had the girls color on the kites, then glue some decorative tissue paper on...and added some ribbon for the string...I think they came out much cuter than last weeks "J's"....Ryleigh sharing with Elena...Red is Elena's favorite color...
We used tweezers to transfer tiny pom poms from a baby food container to the suction cup part of those "tub things"... a great fine motor activity.
Braeden playing with one of his Christmas gifts from Bubbe... (Ryleigh is finding Braeden lots of fun these days as he starts playing with more things..)
I made Ryleigh a button snake...I have seen them on many blogs and I knew she would like it...and she does.... I will make a few more with different size buttons....I sewed a button onto a piece of ribbon and then cut many pieces of felt for her to use....
My Grandparents got her these adorable beads for Christmas...they have different colors and the alphabet on them...she had fun calling out the letter and putting it on the pipe-cleaner.
She is really enjoying her new scissors... and can now hold the piece of paper and cut all the way across it...YAY!!!!
I put some of the pages of Ryleigh's Kumon tracing book in page protectors, gave her a dry-erase marker and let her do the pages...over and over again....
Unfortunately Sir Braeden has gotten too big (heavy) for his swing...this is making nap time a little difficult...luckily he has fallen in love with a new chair...and this one goes up to 40 pounds...
Being the outdoorsy person that I am...I brought the snow from our blizzard inside for Ryleigh to play with.... she totally enjoyed this and played with the snow for quite some time... we did a few experiments with it...one of which is pictured below...the other had to do with food coloring...fun..but messy...Ryleigh pouring warm water over the snow to watch it disappear....
Ryleigh's friend Emily turned 3 last week and at her party Michelle had the girls color on fabric bags...so fun!!! They used fabric markers...I didn't get a picture of Ryleigh's finished bag- but it came out looking tie-dyed....very cute.
We ended our week with a trip to the Dentist (a Ryleigh and Elmo first)... She did great and apparently Elmo had a great time and is looking forward to going again. They counted Ryleigh's teeth-she has 20..and Elmo's- he has 0.Ryleigh (and Elmo) working on her button snake while we waited in the waiting room...
Elmo took a ride in the chair first...
Ryleigh sat on Mommy's lap and got her teeth counted
Braeden...watching...thrilled to be there... 
Ryleigh and Elmo with their "goody bag" watching Daddy get his teeth checked... 
Marc...super excited that I now document these fun filled field trips for my blog... 
To see what others are doing in their Tot Schools go here...
Fun week!
ReplyDeleteIsaac loves the button snake i made him too. I made it for work, but it hasn't made it out of the house yet!
Looks like she did well at the dentist :)
The button snake looks so cool! I will have to try that one. The kites are cute, too. She did a great job at the dentist!

ReplyDeleteWith such cute babies, I don't know how you stopped at only 24 pictures. I have the hardest time deciding which ones to use. LOL
ReplyDeleteLots of fun ideas. I love the button snake. I'll have to think about that one. Maybe even sewing-challenged moi can handle it. LOL
