Tot School ~ Letter Nn / Bugs

~Ladybug is currently 26.5 months old~

Letter: Nn

Object: Net

Vocabulary Development Theme: Bugs

You can find the printables for this unit here on the Tot School Printables webpage.

I set many of her Nn activities up in our pocket chart so she could easily see the options and show me what she would like to do. Everything you see can be downloaded from the Tot School Printables Letter Nn section, except for the ABC cards on the left-those are from the Very Hungry Caterpillar Tot Pack.

Tracing lines…

Coloring things that start with Nn…

Poking the letter Nn…

A little stamping is always added in, she loves these stampers!

The set-up for her shelves this week…

This week I set up both sides with the bug theme, I won’t always do this-especially for smaller themes. Bugs was the theme for Krash and PacMan too, so it took over homeschool {and still is!}

top middle drawer: Letter Nn printables
top right drawer: Ladybug ABC puzzles

She went straight for the bee hat and has put it on each day! Here she was sorting the bugs by color..

She didn’t like the chop sticks I had for this so she used her fingers which is totally fine!

She loved the net I put out and we had fun catching bugs with it…

She still loves this bug puzzle even though it is way too easy for her now…

Ordering caterpillars by size…

To say she likes the bug books would be a total understatement. I don’t know what it is about kids and bugs but it is a true love relationship. She looks through her bug books daily.
