\"TotSchool2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Littlest Apple is 26 months old.<\/em><\/p>\n

Next week I’m thinking of trying a new method for presenting activities to The Littlest Apple…something similar to the Workbox System, but adapted to suit our needs.\u00c2\u00a0 There were many activities I planned this week that we didn’t do, simply because The Littlest Apple wasn’t interested.\u00c2\u00a0 He really just wanted to play, play, play<\/em> this week, and that’s okay with me.\u00c2\u00a0 We played with lots of trucks:<\/p>\n

\"Playing<\/p>\n

Here are a few of the activities we DID complete…<\/p>\n

Made an orange cat using torn paper:<\/p>\n

\"Orange<\/p>\n

Collage of the week: vacuums and a blender, using the ads from last Sunday’s newspaper.\u00c2\u00a0 This kid is seriously obsessed with vacuums and blenders!\u00c2\u00a0 \"Vacuum<\/p>\n

We danced and sang to lots of Laurie Berkner:<\/p>\n

\"Laurie<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Rocketship<\/a><\/p>\n

The Littlest Apple has also been groovin’ and singing to some of the music from Glee<\/a> that I downloaded.\u00c2\u00a0 His current faves are “Bust a Move” and “Sweet Caroline.”\u00c2\u00a0 So funny to watch!<\/p>\n

I gave The Littlest a few cards and letters to match up from our Magnet School<\/a>, and he did it really easily.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m definitely going to be using this toy on a more regular basis now for its intended purpose (as opposed to letting him just dump it all over the place!).<\/p>\n

\"Magnet<\/p>\n

The Littlest Apple really enjoyed this Car Color Wheel activity I saw on Little Hands, Big Work<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 I kept it simple, using just 4 colors so he wouldn’t get overwhelmed.\u00c2\u00a0 For some reason, he refused<\/em> to line up the green trucks (mostly garbage trucks), but was more than willing to line up the others.\u00c2\u00a0 After we lined up the cars and trucks, we counted how many were in each line.<\/p>\n

\"Car<\/p>\n

Our week also included a trip to the library<\/a> and a big sensory tub mess<\/a> with the new Harvest sensory tub.<\/p>\n
