What's on the Tray? October 10-14

Super Tot is 32 months old.

We went on a last minute trip out of town over the weekend, so I didn't have time to prepare our regular Tot Trays for our Letter of the Week activities.  I wanted him to have some new activities this week, so I threw these trays together this morning.  Next week, we will get back to our Letter of the Week theme with the letter Gg.

Gourd Sequencing
Create patterns & sequences using the gourds.
~patterns, sequencing~   

Play Dominos
Dominos are an easy game for preschoolers to learn, so I will begin teaching Super Tot how to play this week.
~problem solving~

Color Matching
Clip the butterfly hair clips onto the matching popsicle sticks.
~fine motor, color matching & recognition~

Nuts & Bolts
Screw each nut onto the correct bolt.
~fine motor, size differentiation~

Eraser Sorting
Sort the sports ball erasers by type of ball.  Once sorted, count the total number of each type of ball.
~sorting, counting~

Counting Glass Beads
Place the correct number of beads into each bowl.

 Alphabet Sticker Match
Place the correct alphabet sticker onto each written letter.

What Goes Together Puzzles

  1. Little hairclips instead of clothespins is a great idea. Same sort of concept but keeps it new. Your trays always look so inviting!
