Tot Trays

Hammering Golf Tees  -  

 E loved this work and chose it often throughout the week. I don't know how I managed not to get any action shots.

Bear Dressing Puzzle -

  

Though this was not originally planned to go on her tot trays this week, we stumbled across it in the basement over the weekend and she was so enthralled by it that I decided to keep it out. As she selected different outfits I made comments about what type of weather it looked like bear was dressed for. After awhile she started talking about it as well ("Sweater will keep teddy warm" or "Teddy's ready for a sunny day"). She also like selecting different faces and labeling the expressions (happy, grumpy, tired...). 

Salt Tray - I kept the salt tray out since she enjoyed it so much last week. I don't think she even touched it once this week. I am learning that I need to switch EVERYTHING out on a weekly basis no matter how much she time she spends working on something. She likes the excitement of discovering new things!

Practical, Practical Life Work

E loves helping me make coffee in the morning. She very carefully measures the beans in the spoon and transfers them to the grinder. Practical life work doesn't get much better than this!

Wet Pouring

I finally found some good pitchers for pouring work at the thrift store. This activity kept her busy and happy for a good 30 minutes while I prepared dinner the other night. She specifically asked for warm water to pour which I found interesting. 

 She asked for a cup so she could pour herself a drink.

Water just tastes so much better when you pour it yourself !
