Muffin Tin Monday

I tried to think of a theme today, but I think I was too tired to be creative. Oh well, she liked it anyway! This was made up of some leftovers we had in the fridge.

Clockwise from top left: 3 dates, spinach/mushroom/leek quesadilla, 3 bean soup, lettuce/tomatoes, more quesadilla, green beans.

She gobbled most of this lunch right up! Sweet P LOVES that bean soup!

Tot Preschool: Letter Hh

Sweet P is 30 mos old.

Gammie got to be with us for most of letter H, too. We had a great week full of Halloween and fall activities. We also went to 2 Halloween parties, the Great Pumpkin Party at our church and trick or treating at the mall! 

Verse: Every good and perfect gift is from above. ~James 1:17
Bible figures: Ruth and Naomi

Activities:



 Foam shapes and stickers: Sweet P picked the cat and decorated the foam shape with foam stickers. Taking the paper off the back of the stickers was a great gross motor skills activity.

H collage: Leftover hearts I cut out during Valentine's Day last week worked great for her collage this week! She also had lots of horse stickers and houses to put on it.

Letter H hippo: While it looks a little like a rabbit, that purple H is a hippo. The eyes and teeth are stickers and the ears are card stock. I drew the nostrils.


DLTK's doadot H is for Hat: Lots of dotting with the pink doadot marker!

Jack o'Lantern activity: I cut out circles, triangles, squares, rectangles and crescents for his eyes and nose. I also cut mouths to match and Sweet P matched the shapes correctly. After we did it several times, she wanted to glue the pieces to the paper so she made a face on the back and the front.


h is for house from A Heart for a Home: Sweet P gets better and better at these each week!

Making Learning Fun's 5 Little Pumpkins magnet page: Sweet P used her pumpkin stamp and cat stamp (from the Target 1$ spot) to fill in the dots on this page. We said the 5 little pumpkins rhyme as we did it.

Upstairs Shelves:
Animal puzzle from Target 1$ spot
Numbers puzzle from Target 1$ spot
Wooden puzzle from Gammie (from Goodwill)
Foam lowercase alphabet puzzle from Dollar Tree


Halloween/Fall Sensory Bin: We used the foam pumpkins to illustrate 5 little pumpkins as we read the book.

Other Activities:
COAH doadot H with heart beads: Sweet P wasn't really into this until I showed her how to put the beads on the H and told her heart starts with H. It turned out really neat! We needed a change up from the stickers.


Alphabet and Number puzzles from Target 1$ spot: We use our pocket chart for these and put one side in the chart and the other in front of her. The numbers are a challenge, but she matches all the letters correctly.

Halloween puzzles: We gave this as a treat for the treat bags at one of the Halloween parties we went to. Sweet P colored the puzzle and then we broke it apart so she could put it together. (Note: these are pretty cheap puzzles and it was hard to get them back together!).

Painting Pumpkins! See this post for more details.

File Folder Fun Hearts Alphabet match: Sweet P did great with this activity and matched all the letters! She also loved putting the hearts back into the pocket on the front of the folder.

Pumpkin sorting: I found these pumpkins at Wal-Mart and she really liked using the tongs to put the pumpkins in the ice tray (Dollar Tree).



Happy Halloween from our little Pirate!


Tot Preschool: Letter Gg

Gammie was here with us during Letter G, which worked perfectly since Gammie starts with G! And sadly Auntie RoRo went home at the beginning of letter G (but we got to have RoRo here for some of letter D, all of letters E and F and a day of letter G!). 

Bible Verse: Every good and perfect gift is from above. ~James 1:17
Bible Figures: David & Goliath

Activities:


Letter G collage: Lots of grapes on this one! 

Handprint Giraffe: I found this on pinterest and I LOVE how it turned out! She had a good time painting her hand and making the giraffe. He has a bushier tail than most and walks on orange grass. 


Letter G grapes: Sweet P drew grapes (circles) on the purple letter G and then glued a stem to the top. She did a great job drawing those circles!

DLTK's doadot G: We did green and violet DoaDot markers for the G is for grapes page.


1+1+1 doadot Goat: After she did the lowercase and uppercase G's she wanted to dot his face, horns and hooves. 

G is for Grapes from A Heart for a Home: Again, she is getting really good at these! She colored the numbers the right color and traced the Gs. 

COAH's doadot G: Sparkly smiley face stickers for letter G this week.

Upstairs Shelves:

Melissa & Doug Sandwich Making Set: Our friend Stacey brought this over as a gift for Sweet P after Baby Brother was born. It was SO sweet of her and Sweet P LOVES it! She made lots of sandwiches throughout the week.


Number puzzle: I don't have a pic, but it's from the $1 spot at Target last year.

Puzzle Patch Town puzzle: I included this because it had a "Grocery" store. She did this puzzle a lot last week and she's really pretty good at it!

Other Activities: 

Pipe Cleaner Spider: I know this isn't a G, but it was Halloween related. Read more about it by clicking the link.

Mustache Pictures: These are part of a project a friend is doing for her son! Sweet P had a blast playing (and trying on) several different mustaches. Even Baby Brother got in on the action. 

Halloween stamps: I got these out for her to play with one night and she had so much fun stamping all of them over and over. 



Pumpkin Faces: See this post for more info.

We took Gammie with us to story time (but I can't remember now what the theme was) last week and got Bill Grogan's Goat and El Gato Grande (I don't think I've mentioned that my daughter is obsessed with Spanish books).
