We have so many pumpkin theme activities, this was our second week with a pumpkin theme and she loved it just as much!  Our trays stayed the same, we just finished what we hadn’t done already.  You can see last week here ~ Tot School Pumpkin Theme.

Tot School ~ Pumpkin Theme

~ Ladybug is 42 Months Old ~Tot-School_thumb3_thumb_thumb_thumb_


We have so many pumpkin theme activities, this was just our first week, and it wasn’t even a full week!  Here is her Tot School area all set up, she loved it!

Pumpkin Tot School-3446 Pumpkin Tot School-3484

She loves her activity notebook, and was anxious to flip through it and choose her first activity.  She is very into mazes right now so I printed a few and sure enough, that’s what she chose first!Pumpkin Tot School-3487

{All pumpkin printables in her notebook are pinned to my pumpkin theme pinterest board!}

After the mazes, she chose to play “find the letter” with me, and soon after Krash joined in too {he used the lowercase sheet, she had uppercase}.  I called out a letter and they had to put their little marker on it as fast as they could!Pumpkin Tot School-3493

Notebook fun occurred many times during the week!  Here she is coloring pumpkins…Pumpkin Tot School-3535

Her dot fun activities are in the notebook for her to pick from and she loved the new pumpkin sheets!Pumpkin Tot School-3540

 

I had to direct her away from the notebook to check out her tray activities, and she immediately wanted to play roll and transfer the pumpkin erasers.  She rolled the little foam die, then transferred that many pumpkin erasers with tongs {these are from an old bug collecting kit from Target} to the ice cube tray.  We counted the total as we went too.Pumpkin Tot School-3498

She loved the color cubes activity I made for her!  I will have to try to make a few more as we do different themes, she loves these cubes!Pumpkin Tot School-3502

 

We got down our busy hands play dough box and created fun pumpkins!Pumpkin Tot School-3509

 

She loves our pumpkin songs, and asks to sing together daily.

One of the favorites is “5 Little Pumpkins” she loves to act her songs out!

We have much more to do with our pumpkin theme so stayed tuned for part 2 next week!

Pumpkin Sensory Bin & Tot Trays

For Ladybug’s Tot School, this week, we have a pumpkin theme!  On Sunday I will share in our weekly Tot School post photos of her interacting with all of this.  This set up was created for Ladybug who is currently 3 1/2, many activities could be enjoyed by younger or older tots.  See my post about following the lead of the child here.

I set up her Tot Trays with a pumpkin theme, with her sensory play area up on top.

Pumpkin Tot School

On her trays are many printable activities that require scissors and/or glue {most are from my Pumpkin Packs}.  Also there is a pumpkin eraser roll and transfer {she rolls the dice and transfers that many to the mini ice cube tray with the tongs}, and a color cubes pumpkin activity I made for her {I added the printable to the Pumpkin Printable Pack}.  Some orange play dough and pumpkin cookie cutters finishes up her trays.Pumpkin Tot School-3453

 

Her desk area hold her printable supplies, her supply bin, her dry erase markers and eraser {in the pumpkin}, her dot markers, her mini markers, and her Pumpkin Fun Notebook!Pumpkin Tot School-3484

Pumpkin Printables ~ Part 2

Pumpkin Printable Pack

Last year I made a Pumpkin Pack, mostly for Krash to use.  I will be using many of those printables this year also, with Ladybug.  She really enjoyed a few of the activities I made in her Scarecrow Pack, so I made  Pumpkin Printables ~ Part 2, to add in some of her favorites. These printables are geared towards tots and prechoolers mostly, they were made specially for Ladybug who is 3 1/2 and I know many of your kiddos may like them too! Cutting, gluing, matching, coloring, counting, tracing, graphing, dot fun, and more!
