Tot School
Jul. 15, 2008 • 10:48 PM
This week has been hard for me to get my Tot School post done. We have VBS this week and I am the craft leader along with one other lady. We don't do kit crafts. We come up with and buy everything for each of our crafts. We try to make really great take-home gifts that are also inexpensive (buying things on clearance.) Having something every evening has kept me from getting a lot done yet it has been wonderful seeing so many kids learning about the Lord and having a great time, too! (I'll try to post some of our crafts later on!)
So here is last week's tot school...
We tried a clothespin relay. They liked it but it was harder for the youngest to work the clothespin.
I just put a variety of small toys in one tub and had them transfer them to an empty tub at the other side of the room!
Since the clothespin was too hard for "Precious" to work, I switched them to plastic kitchen scoops. They both then had a lot of fun!
They did this for quite awhile especially my little girl. They kept going back and forth from tub to tub. Simple but fun!
Then they played this game...
It is a fishing (magnetic game)
Another day, "Precious" enjoyed watering (misting, really) my outdoor flowers pots while I grilled supper. I use the spray bottle of water at the grill just in case the flames get high. She loved using it over at the flowers.
We had a game of Cranium's Balloon Lagoon!
Then I DID get our sand box set up...
...and they had a great time playing in it.
We also picked lots of raspberries! (Anyone have a good raspberry recipe? I'd love it!)

I especially like the ideas of the clothespin relay and the misting the flowers - both great motor skills builders. I have my two youngest here alone this week and I will definitely use these ideas!

I always love catching up with your tot school. My kids would love the fish pond game and spend hours in the sandbox. I hope you have a good week.
Blessings,
Dawn

It looks like y'all have had great fun. We love Cranium games here. My dd would love that bucket game you did. I"ll have to set that up.
Your floors are gorgeous, by the way.

I love the bucket and clothes pin idea! I would never think of something so simple, but it really would give the little ones something fun to do for a while!
I also scrolled down and saw your centerpiece, it's beautiful!
