Tot School - T for Tools

Well, it’s my first week back at work, and I’ve been planning tot school for my mid-week days off.

Our first focus is the ‘T’ sound. Atlas already knows the letter T but we are focusing on the sound.

The theme is ‘T for tools’ simply because this book finally came in the mail! It has lovely illustrations although the fact that the toolbox belongs to the dad is a bit eye roll worthy. In our family I own the tool box but in our society it seems that tools are men things.

I love Safari Toobs - eh who am I kidding - I love toys.

I have a small collection of Toobs, so it’s exciting when I use them! We’ve played with this set before. I saved the images from the internet and put them into a word document. I made sure they were similar in size as the real toys and labelled them.

A loves miniature things so these tools got a work out during the week! I also let him use them in free play. I might have to get a spare set 😆

I laminated a set of tool three part cards as well. I’ve only put out the labeled card and kept the other two aside. I bought these from The Wise Owl Factory. This link also has ideas for tool activities.

The other card set we used came from ABCs to ACTs. This link goes to the printable page - you’ll have to look through all the cool things! 😜

They are for playing memory, but A still hasn’t got the hang of playing this game. We keep trying, but we usually play it with all the pictures facing up and A can find the pairs.

I had set out a colouring sheet that I got off a Google image search, which I didn’t take a photo of.

Since A is interested in shapes I also included this Do-a-dot printable from mpmideas.com.

The last thing I had set out was two Montessori knob puzzles that I bought off a random eBay store a while ago.

Congratulations! You’ve made it to the end 😄

So our first real tot school was a success!
