Tot School

This is our first ever Tot School post! We have been doing Tot School off and on for a while now, but I am officially linking up!
C is 22 months and we are currently working on the color white.
Here is a look at our six trays:
Color White matching game, instruments for music fun!

Shapes puzzle and tongs and cotton balls (we are calling them snowballs!)

A close up of the color white matching game.
Transferring cotton balls (snowballs) with tongs into ice cube trays.
Marshmellow counting. C was able to count two marshmallows. But it was a struggle not to eat them first!

Using our pointer to point to white words on our 'word wall'. She looks like such a little teacher!

We have had plenty of snow to play in, but the temperature is just to low to play outside. So...we brought the snow in! Works great for our color white unit. C LOVED it! Then, Daddy colored our snow with food coloring to help recognize other colors. Not soon after did this become a snow rainbow!
Our FIRST time doing Shaving Cream. A hit for sure! Also, white!

    The trays look great! I wish we had REAL snow here for Alyssa to play in. I was planning on using crushed ice and food coloring next week. I also found Insta Snow at Hobby Lobby for $3.00. It was in the Christmas aisle marked down 80%. I am going to put it in a tub for my daughter to explore. I'll probably hide several items in the tub for her to find (letters, shapes, numbers, words, artic animals, themed items, etc.). Check out my blog - I am new to the Tot School blog even though we have been doing it for a LONG time now too.

    We bring snow indoors here, too .... mostly because I am too lazy and cold to dress up three little ones, then chase them around outside!
