~Ladybug is currently 24 months old~
Letter: Dd
Object: Ducks
Vocabulary Development Theme: Birds
You can find the printables for this unit here on the Tot School Printables webpage.
I gathered birds in advance, but Ladybug wasn’t as impressed as I was. She enjoyed some of the birds, the flamingo in particular. But she doesn’t seem to be a birds type of gal. 
We did match up our cards anyway, but she wasn’t impressed with that either.
She did like putting the birds night-night in the bean bag though. Hey, whatever floats your boat!
I accidentally printed an extra set of bird cards and let her find them with dot paint, which she did like!
We used our Leapfrog letters again…
She did a lot of dot painting again, but not nearly as much as last week!
She colored a few of her ducks this week, with me coloring most of them…
She tried her best at the lacing again, but, got frustrated quickly. She did last a bit longer and really tried to get it through the hole herself! She did NOT want help!!!
She finally did some stamping on her own this week!
She loved dot painting the Dd objects!!!
We added in some Dd printables from other sources this week, mostly because she enjoys dot painting so much!
We used some of Spell Outloud’s Dd is for Ducks printables…
She also did the Dd from Confessions of a Homeschooler…
This week she did not enjoy several of our items {shapes, numbers, shadow matching, sequencing} which is fine~ so we just glanced at them and then moved on! Next week I plan to try something a bit different to see if I can peak her interest in some of the activities! I don’t expect her to love everything each week though.
I finally got her bulletin board strips up so I can display her work, which she really liked! Here is most of her work from this past week…
She loves our Bee Hive game, great fine motor skill practice with the leaves! The boys LOVE this game even more than she does!
We put together our ABC floor puzzle and found some letters together!
A very favorite of hers still, our foam blocks…
She enjoyed some Play Doh time while Krash worked on his school…
She got this set of Disney Babies books {consignment} and fell immediately in LOVE with them!
This week she watched many PowerPoints again! However she did not choose the Counting 1-10 show! Her favorite was definitely the Colors show, and she also really enjoyed the letter Dd PowerPoint from our Tot School Printables Dd unit.
We also used www.Starfall.com many times, focusing in on the letters we have done so far {A-D}.
side note ~ since I haven’t decided if I will create all 26 PowerPoint shows for the Tot School Printables units, I have decided to add the ones I do make to the current Members Only section!
Do you ever wonder what I do with her when I need to work with Krash and she isn’t cooperating? Here’s a peek…
Ladybug turned 2 this past week!!!! We had SOOOO much fun celebrating her life together, her brothers were more excited than she was!!! Here is a tiny glimpse into her fun {just our family for the “party”}
My mom made her dress, bib, and party hat!
She got a baby set {purchased at Costco awhile back} and LOVED it!!!!
She also got a wooden cake,
Froggy Boots in her size!!!
Also some Farm Puzzle Blocks…
We spent the evening outside enjoying the spring weather, she was simply precious!!!
The next day we took her to our children’s museum, her favorite places being the shopping and the duck pond…
She found her brother’s old Cars jammies and insisted on wearing them, all the while looking at her shirt like this and showing us the cars!
