Letter Craft: Z is for Zoo!

A simple yet fun activity for the little one.

Draw or write a big letter Z in a white construction paper.  Using our Crayola Animal Stamp Marker, I made Mavi fill the letter with animal stamps.  He love doing the stamping!  He had so much fun, using all 6 stamps.  There were times that he uses both of his hands doing the stamping heehe.

Once done, I cut out the letter Z and instructed him to paste it on the violet construction paper.

After the activity, he proudly showed his work to his Dad. I am so happy that my son is appreciating paper/crafts.  He enjoys doing it, because he can write, draw, cut and paste!

Toddler Beginnings Week 26

My notes on Mavi's tot school moments this week
Date: November 15 – November 19, 2010

Mavi is 26 months old.

Finally, we made it to Week 26!  I can’t imagine that I’ve been homeschooling Mavi for a year! Yes! I started this totschool thingy last year... and fell in love with it.  My deepest gratitude to all those homeschooling Mommies whom I came across the internet for inspiration, ideas and resources.  Mavi has learned A LOT from our homeschool.

So here’s what we did during our last week of Tot school 2010 :-)

Tot School Break

I forgot to inform the readers that we are currently on a break.  Tot school will resume next year, though I still have no idea on when to start our 2012 Tot School since we will be having a family vacation early next year. 

Last week, we finished our Week 26 tot school and I still have to find time to write all about it so I can share it with you.  Although we are on a break, I still keep on giving Mavi some activities... mostly from our past activities and depending on what he wanted to do.  But mostly, we are out, attending parties, meeting friends, playdates and exploring Belgrade before the winter hits the city.

So while we are on break, feel free to browse our precious activities for some ideas for your kids.  I will try to post our Week 26 as soon as possible and if I have enough time, share some photos of our outdoor activities for the past few weeks.

Till here for now :-) 

Toddler Beginnings Week 25

My notes on Mavi's tot school moments this week
Date: October 25 – November 5, 2010

Mavi is 26 months old.

It took  us two weeks to complete our Week 25 of tot school for the following reasons:

1. We were on a short trip on a weekend.
2. Husband took a week off from work and he mostly spent his time bonding with Mavi.
3. Both of us were very busy because something came up which is really really important.

I didn’t observe our regular curriculum, and this week I was just spontaneous with the activities that was given to the little one.
