Abigail and Tanner have really started noticing letters and shapes. Everywhere we go Abby will say, "Look...A for Abby!" or Tanner will say, "Triangle!" I thought it might be a good idea to really start doing some "educational" activities with them.
While doing some research on the internet I stumbled upon a blog by a fellow "Mommy Blogger" called 1+1+1=1.
Carisa is a homeschooling mom of three children and her site is FULL of wonderful printables and activities. I was intrigued by TOT School which she describes in the following way:
"Tot School isn't really school at all! Don't let the name confuse you! Tot School is the time each day I
spend with my tot, exposing early learning skills through FUN play. Tot School is not forced, is always fun, sometimes doesn't happen the way I plan, and is always focused on my tot."
This was exactly what I was looking for and she had it all available for FREE on her blog and website. I printed some Easter activites off and gave them to Tanner and Abigail this morning to work on while I ate breakfast. They had fun using the dry erase markers and sorting pictures.
I am not sure how I will schedule our TOT School activites, maybe after breakfast a few mornings a week. My plan (at the moment) is to work through the alphabet, one letter a week, using the materials on the TOT School site. I have also been pinning additional early learning activities on my Pinterest page.
Here are some videos of Tanner and Abigail doing their very first TOT School activities just before Easter.
