Tot School - Yellow

Following the rainbow, our next color is yellow. I started Kaleb with a bin full of yellow items that I collected around the house. I also found a yellow ice cream scoop which just seemed to encourage play.


I gave him two bowls and the ice cream scoop and waited to see what he would do.


He scooped, of course.


He played with yellow play dough - more like ripping/tearing it and putting it into cups.


He cut and glued yellow paper. This is a new favorite activity - glue. It ranks up there with coloring with markers.


He played a lot with the chalkboard - drawing and erasing with his shirt sleeve. What fun!


I brought out a new toy that I had hidden among my shelves. I found these years ago, marked down in a toy store here and used them in my classroom. They are mini magnetic  construction pieces, not sure of the product name. They are extremely magnetic and he had fun creating different things with them. When J wanted to play, he got extremely possessive of them, so I had to limit the time. I will definitely bring these out again.
