Tot-School

RockerTot is currently 29 months old.

Disclaimer: I missed several opportunities for great photos this week. I'll try to do better next time.



I took a cue from The Adventures of Bear and used RockerTot's old knob number puzzle to make this tot number line. He gets extra practice with his pincer grasp while honing his number recognition and linear numeration skills. He's working on basic addition and subtraction in a new way as well.



Pin It
He did this second Matisse project for Open-Ended Art.


He played with his pattern blocks several times:

Free play...


Making snakes...


Finding different ways to make hexagons (his favorite shape)...


He also enjoyed exploring his snap cubes:

Gathering by color...


Counting the cubes as he stacked them and comparing his "towers"...


... and counting the cubes as he snapped them apart and put them back in their tray...




He swept up his mess while his Aunt Di held the dustpan.


This is his new "Dressing Buddy", Gizmo. We are switching out old items of clothing on Gizmo for RockerTot to practice in lieu of dressing frames.


Gizmo's first outfit featured a zipper. RockerTot wears lots of hoodies, so this seemed like the skill that would have the most immediate impact. We'll alternate outfits as he tires of them.


He modeled his new apron and chef's hat (from the Dollar Tree... $1.00 for BOTH!!) before helping Mamoo in the kitchen.


He found some pecans at my Mom's (Mamoo) and grabbed the nutcracker. I had to quickly locate a box lid to catch the shells (it didn't really work, they flew everywhere). He learned to crack nuts late last winter... I was surprised that he remembered.




RockerTot played in leaf piles, ran from the leaf blower, played football, baseball, enjoyed an afternoon at a large playground and much more... but I didn't get any pictures. Shame on me.
