TOT School ~ Halloween...

~Smiley is currently 33 months old~

Halloween...

This week was mainly centered around Halloween. We talked about halloween, pumpkins and jack o' lanterns. I found these fun little halloween stamps at the target dollar section a while back and both kids really enjoyed playing with them...

Smiley transfered little jack o' lantern erasers into cupcake molds.

Our little lovebug had to try it too, of course. She did really well with this. I was quite impressed with her persistence :)

We traced halloween shapes with markers...

And used them with our orange playdough...

We practiced cutting a lot this week. Playdough works really well for cutting practice :)

We baked halloween cookies (as if there isn't already enough sugar this weekend ;)) Smiley had a blast. He loves baking with me!

I made orange frosting by adding pureed carrots. You can't really tell from this picture, but it turned out orange and you couldn't taste the carrots at all. At least the cookies now included the slightest trace of vitamins ;)

Later today, we will conclude our halloween theme with carving pumpkins and going trick or treating :)

Fine Motor Skills...

Our little lovebug loves any type of fine motor activity. Here she is putting pennies into cupcake molds.

I was very impressed that she was able to also put the pennies in a piggy bank. This was definitely a bit challenging, but she persisted and was able to fit quite a few pennies in the bank!

The fisher price stacker is another toy she enjoys right now :)

Fun...

We went to fly kites for the first time this week. We all had a blast.

We also played some golf...

and learned how to pitch...
