Went out to celebrate Pinky’s second B-day, and I found this at the restaurant. So Funny!!!
Fuimos a celebrar el segundo cumpleanios de Pinky y en el restaurante tenian este letrero que me parecio gracioso…
Happy Wednesday!
For more about WW fun visit:
Just a few days ago, I went to do some shopping and found this cute little piggy for $1.19 (it was at the supermarket, so keep your eyes open while you’re shopping!). I loved it! It’s plastic, good for my toddler who throw everything on the floor, have a hole to put the money inside but doesn’t have any other to take the money outside. Since Pinky is just starting her toddler’s time, this aspect is great. I don’t want a little one taking the money outside while mommy is not near. The problem would be after the piggy gets full, but that’s fine for now, lol.
She loved her piggy! Now, she knows about money and coins which are needed to feed her friend; so sorry for Daddy and whoever comes to the house because she keeps asking: “money, please”!!! So cute! Also, is a good fine motor skills activity and is teaching her about patience….since she have to try several times before she can put the coin inside the piggy.
Where’s the money, mommy?
That's what we call: Concentration!!!
Enjoy your piggy time!!!!

Also, we follow the TotSchool activities…
This week we had a great and productive time. I had to spare everything between two weeks since some of my family members came to visit.
In this week we learned about fish, frogs, flowers (flores- in Spanish) and flags (since it was during the 4th of July celebration).
Pinky loves to learn and get busy, so it’s always a hard time trying to put together as many activities as we can do during the letter of the week.
So, lets start our fun learning time week!!!
Letter F is for: FlOwErS-Flores!
This activity was done with Tata (grandma). It’s an easy activity where you just need to cut two big flowers and a few little ones and the paste them on another paper. Pinky had fun counting the flowers and them gluing them in each petal of the big one. Also, it is good to practice some patterns.
Letter F is for: Fish and yummy golFish crackers
Our letter F main topic was: all about Fish.
First, I found some activities to practice some graphing using the cute Goldfish crackers and a great poem, too! Pinky is only 23 months so she needed a little bit of help from mommy, but my nephew K did it very well (he’s 7).
You can see that Pinky loved the activity. Oh yeah! She loved the goldfish cracker, lol. Whenever I let a goldfish on the paper, she took it and ate it. lol!!!
It was so funny and cute. Mommy had to get some pics of the moment.
About the Color Goldfish Crackers Poem, I found it here: Danielle's Place of Crafts and Activities(is almost at the end of the web page- Goldfish Reading Craft). There’re so many activities but some are for members only. This one is free!!!
And for the Goldfish Graph by Colors just select the link. They have a lot of graphing activities at this web-site.
(Final work)
(Mommy, why I have to leave the goldfish crackers over the paper, if they are so yummy?)
(Maybe we can eat just one!!!)
Counting fish!
Ok, I used my drawing abilities (lol) and try to do some fish manipulative recycling some diaper boxes. Then, I painted the fish shapes and did some dots on their tail (from 1-10) so Pinky could match them with the bubble numbers (did them with construction paper and laminated them for a longer use).
Letter F is for: The Rainbow Fish
Trying to use our new felt board and felt story-time, I tried to do the Rainbow fish characters on felt. We used the Spanish version, since I got it from the library and it was not available in English. However, it is fine with Pinky; we are raising her in a trilingual environment (Spanish, English and French- with some Creole, too). I’ll try to post about our multilingual experience another time.
Our felt board, I did it from a Foam board from Dollar tree store ($1) and some felt I bought at Wal-mart. I just glued together. Having just one student, I think it will last for a little time.
The characters are from felt, too, with decorations I painted with glitter glue. It took me a few days, since I had family visiting but it was fun and easy (relaxing mommy time).
Letter F is for: Frogs
Letter F is for the Five Green Speckled frogs felt board story-time. Found the template at Chilcareland.com. There are plenty of ideas and activities to do, so I just select the one I think Pinky would love the most. For this felt story, I printed the template (only the frogs), painted with crayons (I’m running out of ink), laminated them and put some Velcro on the back. The log and the flies I did them with foam papers and put Velcro on the back, too.
Sorting Frogs by size:
About this activity, I really don’t remember where I found it. As soon as I have the web site again, I will update the post. Ok….sorry Carissa! I took this activity from the great blog Tired, Need Sleep. It is one of my favorite blogs! You can find it here.
For this one, I just re-used the bowls from the tomatoes I bought at the supermarket. They are so good, hard and clear material which I can re-used one and another time.
Furthermore, following the frogs theme, here is a cute frog craft from an awesome blog: Handprint and Footprint Art. We didn’t have the time to do it, but I thought that somebody can enjoy it.
Letter F is for: Flag (Happy 4th of July)
We’re preparing our self to celebrate our Constitution!!! I found the three flags for $1 dollar at Target!!! Great deal!!
And…Letter F is for: Finally…Family having Fun a whole week!!!
That was our letter of the week- LETTER F…..
We had a great time as always…….learning, playing and loving it!!!
Enjoy your week!
We follow TotSchool activities…
We started with a letter E glue and paste images. Just wrote a big letter E on a paper and then cut some eyes, ears, lowercase and uppercase letter E pics from a magazine. Pinky is doing good using the glue by herself and pasting them on the paper.
This was a fun and easy activity! Just click here to do to the web page where I found it. Just made some changes so we could practice the shapes (circles, semi-circles, square and rectangle).
Letter E is for: Elephant
This activity is from No time for flashcards. First, we painted the paper with some chalk. Then, we practiced some shapes and sizes. Finally, it turned out a cute elephant.
Counting Elephants:
Do you know the classic preschool elephant song? It goes like this:
One elephant went out to play,
Upon a spider’s web one day,
He had such enormous fun,
That he called for another elephant to come.
So, we had a great time playing with these elephants I did from an stencil and then decorated a little bit for fun. Also, I glued magnets on the back so we can use them on the fresh door.
We sang this son in Spanish, so we could practice our counting in this language. Here is a video with a great group, Cantajuegos, singing the song.
And, finally, we tried to watch the movie Dumbo, but Pinky doesn;t like to sit still for more than two minutes, lol…..I found the movie on youtube. Here’s the link is you want to watch this classic.
Between the letter of the week activities, we had other fun stuff to play and learn.
First, and ABC’s egg cartoon and letters matching.
And, then, some great puzzles.
What a great week!
Enjoy…
