What's on the Tray?
Here are Super Tot's activity trays for the week:
Foam Alphabet Puzzle
$1 at CVS
1-1 w/ Pony Beads
Place one pony bead in each section of the tray.
I've had this tray for years and can't remember where I purchased it.

Mickey Mouse Memory
There are two of each color, and we will play memory to match each color. These are paint swatches from our local hardware store.
Puzzle Cards
I am in the process of making popsicle stick puzzles, but these will do until they are finished.
I think the cards were from Dollar Tree during Back to School.

Button Shape Sort
Color Sorting
This is one of our Busy Bag activities. There are 7 colors of envelope stapled together, along with 4 cardstock strips of each color. Super Tot will place each cardstock strip into the correct envelope.
First Words Magnetic Book
Super Tot was given this book for Christmas. It is really cute and has letter magnets to spell various animal themed words. I am using it this week in Tot School to give him some variety in our letter work.
Book available here.

Counting Bees
We've been using this activity for over a year now, and it is still a favorite. Super Tot will place the correct number of bees on each flower based on the numeral shown on the mat.
Alphabet Writing
There is a card for each letter. They are dry erase, so they can be used over and over.
Cards available here.

We will also be doing some File Folder Games and other activities.

My New Blog!
I am so excited to share my new blog with you!
I have had my Princess and the Tot blog for just over a year and a half. As you know, it is primarily an educational homeschool blog with a few crafts thrown in on occasion. A couple months ago, I started having my weekly Fun Food Friday post to chronicle the healthy bento lunches I prepare for my children each day.
After much thought and debate, I decided to start a separate blog just for my bentos. After deciding on a name & theme, I collaborated with Diana at Custom Blog Designs to design Bentos on the Bayou!
I would love for you to click on my blog button at the top of this post and come check it out! Let me know what you think of the adorable design. I know that I LOVE it!
I will no longer be doing the "Fun Food Friday" posts here, so be sure to follow Bentos on the Bayou to see our fun lunches!
I must also give a big Thank You to Diana at Custom Blog Designs. She was amazing to work with and her prices are great! She was attentive, quick and very professional. Her customer service is first class, and she is an absolute delight to work with. If you are interested in starting a blog, or updating one you already have, I encourage you to click the button below and contact Diana. She does everything from complete blog designs and makeovers, to adding a simple blog button or icon to your existing blog. Her website offers many examples of her work, so be sure to go check it out!

What's on the Tray?
I'm a little late posting my trays this week, but I hope you enjoy them! We aren't following a theme this week, just working on some fun skills!
Beginning Sound Sort
Sort the items in the bowl by their beginning sound.
Nuts & Bolts
One of our favorites: Match each nut to the correctly sized bolt and screw it on.
Washcloth Folding
Fold each washcloth into 1/4ths, then stack.
Button Sorting
Sort the buttons by the number of holes each has.
Counting Straws
Place the correct number of straws into each section of the tray.
Color Matching
Sort the cards by color and place on the correct crayon mat.
I apologize for the glare in the photo!
Color by Number
Practice those fine motor skills by coloring each section the correct color.
Pattern Matching
Recreate or continue each pattern using the cubes in the box.
