My post is super late this week *blush* We have been so busy with our Dinosaur theme that I haven’t had a chance to blog much, LOL.

Here are our tot boxes for the week.
Monday
D is for Dinosaur Totbook. I made this totbook with files that I got from 1+1+1=1’s Dinosaur Train totbook and Dinosaur ideas from Confessions of a Homeschooler

Tuesday
Dinosaur sequencing. Koko HATED this, he took one look at it and got up, LOL. I’ll keep putting these types of activities in his boxes. He’ll want to do them eventually. The dinosaurs in the box are part of the Dinosaur Train totbook from 1+1+1=1 and the orange dinosaur sequencing game is from File Folder Fun

Wednesday

He loves these nuts and bolts. He had to match the colours and the shapes and then we counted them when he was all done. He is counting to 7 unaided and to 10 with a little help. He sat for ages doing these.

Because space is such an issue here, I’ve modified Carissa’s Tot Trays to suit our needs. After realising how well workboxes have worked for Noo, I decided to create Tot School Tot Boxes. I bought 5 deep containers with lids, from Westpack, for the Tiny Tag Alongs and labelled each one Monday through Friday with the labels I created.

I am a planner and like to plan activities for an entire week giving me more time with the children during the week. I’ve made two labels per box, so that they can get accustomed to removing a label as they complete a box, as Noo does when he has completed a workbox.

Each box will be filled with an activity/tot book for a specific day at the beginning of the week and stacked. During our tot school activities the Tiny Tag Alongs will be given their relevant Tot Box to work on. I’m super excited to get this started. I’ve been so badly organised where it comes to their “lessons”. At this point in time I only have Tot Boxes for Koko as Fifi is still in the play and explore phase.

Here are the Koko’s Tot Boxes

In the storage container, packed for easy access. Activities that are to big to fit in the boxes, will be put in the storage container and a note will be put in the Tot Box explaining the activity
Storage

These tot boxes can be put away under the table. It has a “tamper proof” lid for the littlies.

Our Tot Box lables
Koko loves Lightening McQueen, so I made him “Cars” themed tags and Fifi has a Miffy blanky that she has adored since birth, and thats why she has Miffy themed lables.
