Purple!

We finished our Dinosaur fun and moved on to the color purple! Gathering purple items was harder than previous colors, because it is not a primary color. We chose the color purple simply because she can say it. It includes toys, books, mom-made items (the I spy jar), cards, plastic fruit, toy balls, and magnets.

Fun Fun!

 

Monitored play items!

 

And It Was All Yellow...

Our new theme is Yellow! With everything from hair bows to magnetic letters, there is tons of yellow fun in this Tot Shelf. On the plus side, she loves the corn kernels and the yellow spheres from a geometric shape set. However, she thinks everything is Blue and she found out the hard way that the shelf has some sharp edges. Altogether, we look forward to playing with our "Yellow toys".

We Got The Blues!!

 

This week, we started early Tot-School. Our theme is the color blue. This "Tot Shelf" is the first in a series designed to encourage Jordyn to recognize blue when she sees it, and say the word "blue" (boo). The preparation: collect household items/toys that are primarily blue and lumping them together in the arrangement below. The activities for Jordyn: fine motor, transferring items between containers, scooping, pretend play, an "I Spy" bottle, and tons of blue fun.

Another look at the Tot shelf.

Gems, cups, and flashcards are separated for monitored play only.

She seems to like it!

She loves transferring these gems.

Fishy fun book!



We will eventually visit everyone of the primary and secondary colors with this Tot shelf idea. (Red, Green, Blue, Orange, Yellow, and Purple). This will require a lot of colorful "things". If you have anything laying around the house that could be used in a Tot shelf, we would love to use it. Your junk could make an awesome learning opportunity for Jordyn. Thanks!

Here are the results of day 1.
