Zeke is almost 26 months old - that's so hard to believe! He is such a bright and happy toddler, follows directions very well, and loves to learn. Last week we learned that K is for Kitchen using Moms Have Questions Too tot school curriculum, along with my own tot tray ideas and worksheets.
TOT TRAYS:
Utensil Sorting:
I put some plastic knives, spoons, and forks on Zeke's tray along with six paper cups. I showed him how to sort the utensils in the cups. He picked this up easily (he loves sorting activities), dumping the cups out and doing it again as soon as he finished!
Button Sorting in Muffin Tin
This was an easy set up - buttons and muffin tin! Zeke had to sort by color, but he was more interested in filling up the tins with buttons.
Toothpick Push
We used a sugar canister and cocktail toothpicks for this activity. He also loves pushing things through small holes, so this was a hit. We had a tough time getting the plastic on the toothpicks through the holes until Zeke figured out that if he put them in upside down, they went in much easier.
He also did many worksheets, which he just loves. Coloring, gluing, stickers - all of these are right up his alley!
I made this worksheet for him to use foam shape stickers with. He loves doing this and even peeled the backing of the stickers off by himself - a great fine motor activity. You'll notice I do a lot of worksheets using these foam stickers - my mother in law gifted me a huge bag from Michel's Craft Store! They are really great for tot school activities.
He used a letter J stamp to stamp on this page. He somehow got his entire hands turned blue!
He put kitchen related stickers on his letters. I found these baking stickers in my scrapbook sticker box and they worked perfectly!
He used dot markers on his letters.
He colored the oven mitts the correct colors.
He sorted oven mitts by size.
He matched shapes to their outlines again. We will keep doing this until he correctly names each shape.
