Tot School Tuesday

On Tuesdays I am going to break from the Journey to 1,000 Blessings (although many of our blessings are related to me being a stay-at-home mom and training our children) to share what's going on in "Tot School".  A lot of my ideas and crafts come from http://1plus1plus1equals1.blogspot.com/.  What a wonderful
resource!

We are just finishing up our Winter Unit which was filled with snowmen and penguins - what fun! 




Bible Verse:  Isaiah 1:18: "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be white as snow; Though they are red as crimson, They shall be like wool". 

Favorite Books:
*Snowy, Blowy Winter by Bob Raczka
*Playful Little Penguins by Tony Mitton
*Penguins, Penguins, Everywhere! by Bob Barner

To welcome February I introduced our new sensory bin.  Makenzie loves these and the possibilities are endless.  We sort, stack, make choo choos, toss, and play for hours with our bins.





Today we made a penguin craft out of hearts (http://www.first-school.ws/tcraft/penguin_hearts_c.html).

I love the winter/snow ideas! We just got a massive blizzard in Chicago so I was looking for some ideas to tie in for my 2 year old. Thanks for posting!

Great ideas!!! Do you remember where you got those porcupine heart people? My daughter would love those!!!

Almost everything in the sensory bin came from Oriental Trading Company. And the porcupines were definitely a big hit with our daughter!
