Tot School: Hearts {27 months}

Did you all have a great Valentine's Day?  We sure did.  We had a morning family date that was just the best, despite the cold.  Here is what we were up to during Tot School the past week.

Valentine Sensory Bin

Rating: 4/5

Skills:
Sensory development
Colors
Shapes: heart

Activity:
I presented Luke's Valentine sensory bin to him and he was most interested in the Valentine duck.  We talked about the hearts that were in the basket as well as the colors (red, pink, and white).

  
Filling the Dump Truck

Rating: 5/5

Skills:
Art
Fine motor development
Shapes: heart

Activity:
Luke was floored when I showed him the dump truck coloring paper.  His new thing is 'ohhhh' and there were lots of 'ohhh's.  The idea was for him to 'fill' the dump truck with heart stickers.  He did that a bit, but also wanted to use car stickers (of course).

Foam Hearts

Rating: 5/5

Skills:
Shapes: heart
Fine motor development
Sensory development
Colors

Activity:
Using a bowl of water, Luke wet down the hearts and hung them on the window.  Did you know that foam sticks to glass when wet?  Try it sometime.  Luke loved this one.

Felt Hearts

Rating: 2/5

Skills:
Shapes: heart
Fine motor development
Colors

Activity:
Luke was not a big fan of this one.  He put the hearts on the felt board, but then he moved onto something else.  

Stamping Hearts and Valentine Stickers

Rating: 5/5

Skills:
Fine motor development
Shapes: heart
Colors

Activity: 
Luke loves stamping.  When I make cards using stamps, he always wants to be my helper.  We talked about the shape of the heart and he loved using the Valentine stickers GaGa Diane got him.

I am aware that Luke has the same shirt on in each and every picture...how did that happen?  It's one of his favorites right now, so he wears and I wash often.
