Tot School: Chick theme
Kent was 21 months old. I found so many cute chick activities while searching for Easter ideas! We raise a couple hundred chickens a year here, plus we have some laying hens wandering around. Our first batch of day-old chicks arrived on April 5th. We learned all about chicks and chickens that week! I picked […]
Tot School: Gray
Kent was 20 months old. Well… this will give me a chance to catch up on these posts. We hardly did anything for gray week! Or, maybe we did, but it’s all a blur and I didn’t take any pictures. Brian was off work for awhile with a wrist problem and I think gray week […]
Tot School: Easter
Instead of doing our normal tot trays we did our own version of Resurrection Eggs to lead up to Easter Sunday. We started on Palm Sunday. For more details on these projects please see my post about Resurrection Eggs for Toddlers using The Beginner’s Bible. The night before Easter we made Resurrection rolls. This year […]

For pictures of these activities please see our Easter post. After venting about the lack of truly Easter related “Easter” activities on the web I received several suggestions to try Resurrection Eggs. There are some commercial versions available for purchase but a quick google search pulled up several DIY editions, too. My biggest concern was […]

Kent was 20 months old. Wow! I’m three weeks behind on Tot School posts again. How does that happen? As I was perusing the web looking for Easter ideas I kept stumbling upon tons of cute flower, bunny, and chick ideas. Sure, they were cute and I wanted to do them, but there are not […]
Tot School: St. Patrick’s Day week
Kent was 20 months old. As we’ve been growing in our faith I’ve started digging in to each holiday and trying to decipher whether or not it is worth celebrating. For us, St. Patrick’s Day is. We are not Catholic but the story of how St. Patrick spread the word of God is still an […]
Tot School: Brown
Kent was 20 months old. I spent a lot more time planning Brown week and it paid off. There was a bit of frustration on my part when he didn’t want to do some of the activities but I adjusted and we had fun. We did the matching cards a couple times. This was our […]
Tot School: Pink
Tot School: January (Purple and Color Review)
Kent was 18 months old. We kind of wandered through January. I tried to rotate the tot trays so that he had fun stuff to play with but I didn’t do a lot of planning or set any real goals. We spent some time on the color purple. At some point I realized that even […]
Tot School: Orange
We also colored his “Orange” page with crayons and played with his normal toys. Next time we’ll talk about GREEN week! 🙂 What learning activities are happening in your house?
