Little Mouse is currently 19 Months old
We are slowely getting back into our Tot School routine, and I love it! I tried to stick to our curriculum as much as possible, but we didn't get to work on our My Body Lapbook yet, hopefully this week we will find time! We had loads of fun and enjoyed it so much, and I think that is what matters most. Not everyday was perfect, Little Mouse was not feeling so great, teething pains and her tummy was acting up a bit, but we did do some fun activities!
Open Ended Art and stART
We are busy making a colour wheel for Open Ended Art! I decided to do a collage type of Colour Wheel, we did the colours red, blue and yellow already and we will start with the secondary colours from this week on. I also tried to explain to her (as much as you can explain to a 19 month old) that you can have the same colour in different mediums, that is why I also decided on a collage.
We also did our stART project and made a little elephant! She just loves her little elephant and she played with it every day.
Letter A and Colours (Red, Blue and Yellow)
I downloaded some great fun activities from DLTK and Homeschool Creations (links at bottom of post) which we used for our letter A and colours activities.
We made this Awesome Apple - I printed it in black and white and had Little Mouse colour it in, but you can print it in colour as well.
Little Mouse also coloured in this letter A printable, I will use this for her file.
She also enjoyed this colour matching cards that I downloaded from Homeschool Creations, they are stunning! I showed her the cards once, and told her what was on each of them. Afterwards we played with them and I would ask her where the ladybug was for example and she would promptly show it to me! I was so proud!
Hopefully I can spend some more time this week on all of these themes. We are also doing parts of the body and she is so cute! Everytime I would ask her where her eyes are she would show them to me and then also poke a little finger in my eye to show me where mine are! She also discovered her belly button and loves to show it to me!
Our postcards from the postcard exchange are also beginning to arrive and both of us are so excited each time we receive one! I will keep these for her and then hopefully we can use them as homeschool tools one day and they will also make a great keepsake for her.
