Aric is 34 months old
We had a fun week in Tot school!
Aric is exploring one of our new school toys. I picked up some block play people, worker themed. He stood them all up, and we talked about who did what. He was telling me that this was the train conductor, I think.
Aric made a Mother's day card to send to his Grandma. Here he is decorating his card with our new jewels.
We had fun with Birthday's this week since his Brother's birthday is coming up on May 24! We put some unused birthday candles in our playdough "cakes" and sang Happy Birthday.
Aric traced the letter L as best he could from his Kumon book of letters.
Aric worked on the letter B printables. He did good, and really liked them still. First we looked at B is for Ball.
He also did his Highway letter B and b, these can be found here at Make learning fun. He really loves to park all his cars on these.
He wanted to make another "train" out of the vocabulary cards.
We did a lot of painting for this unit because both boys really wanted to paint. He painted the letters Bb.
He started to stamp with the letter b, but quickly lost interest so I got my rolling stamper out. He loved that. If one way doesn't work, it's always a good thing to just find a different way to accomplish the activity. Especially at this age. It's more important for him to have a good time.
He wanted to keep using the rolling stamp, so he rolled on his letter Bb coloring page.
He practiced cutting paint cards.
He painted again.
He painted #'s
He cut out and put together this dolphin puzzle.
He cut playdough, and played with his brother.
Here he is doing more birthday fun play. He has two #2 candles because he's 2!
Preschool corner
We found some new learning tools at Lakeshore learning, and each boy got to explore. This is what I picked up for Aaron to help him with sight words. He was making the word "he".
Aaron is almost 5 years old!

Aaron's birthday playdough creation. These were some of the candles leftover from last year from his cake, and the #9 is leftover from his Sister's birthday last year (we forgot to use it).
He worked on the birthday preschool pack from Carisa's free printables this week. He really liked it and got way excited for his birthday. Here he is putting birthday's in order from 1-10.
I thought it would be fun to match the real birthday candle numbers up with each number. We didn't have all the numbers, but he did what we had.
This is another birthday activity, but he did this one on a hot plate with crayons. This is a very fun way to color with crayons, but needs constant supervision. They actually did this a lot at Aaron's preschool. We just used our griddle, but the wax does go through the paper when melted so I might consider getting a separate hot plate or griddle. My boys love to do hot plate coloring, it feels really neat how the crayons just melt as you color.
Put the paper on the hot plate, turn on low, put a dish towel or cloth down to hold the paper in place, and watch your child carefully. The crayons just slide across the paper because the wax melts so fast. Mr. Aaron asks to do this all the time, he really loves it.
He's putting his handprint on the Mother's day card for Grandma. He wanted to paint his hand himself.
He did playdough Bb is for Birthday and for balloons.
He did this Birthday color by number. It went directly up onto his cork board. He was very proud.

Right after we opened baby's new high chair, the box became an instant toy!
