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.

Paper Plate Elephant craft

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…

This one was one of Pinky’s first activities. She was 18 months old and we were learning our body parts. Here, we started with the face.

First, she was gluing the parts of the face (eyes, nose, mouth and hair) on a paper plate. I cut two small squares for the eyes, a triangle for the nose, a semi-circle for the mouth and a funny shape for the hair. While we were doing this activity we practiced shapes, colors and gluing.

Another activity we did was gluing different faces on another paper plate. Here we had the opportunity to see some differences between the faces and woman, men, boy, girl, babies and aged people. She had too much fun gluing.

This was a great Tot school start!

 

Here's Pinky at 22 months singing her ABC's song and after that faking some cough so her mommy can ask her if she's ok. She is so cute!!! Also she's a little bit into her Yo Gabba Gabba lapbook. She is in love with them, reason for what mommy made a lapbook or file folder game for her. I'll post about the folder later!

Enjoy the great ABC's song!

Cute??? I know!!!

(Oops! Sorry about the mess on the back!)
