Beginning Homeschooling for Toddlers 01

Friday, November 28, 2014

Vito is 12.5months old.
This is Vito’s first adventure in Tot School.  This is my way of journalising his wonder years, capturing his “firsts” and discoveries in the same way that I have documented Mavi’s preschool  years.

These are the books we’re reading so far for the month of November. 
  • Toddle Waddle
  • Mr. Brown Can Moo Can You?
  • That's not my panda...

As you can see, we’re using as much ‘red’ in our activities.  This is because were are exploring the colour RED as of the moment. I gathered toys like red LEGO Duplo blocks, shakers, red wooden stacking ring, blocks, pompoms and red bug counters and placed them in a basket.  The card you are seeing is a homemade colour card.

Best way to explore the RED colour is by finger painting.  In this case, we used the Giotto Bebe finger-paint, the line of paints for kids that I truly adore.  They are 100% odourless, nontoxic, washable and has this creamy texture (not watery!).  If this brand is not available you can also get Crayola Washable Finger Paints from Amazon US.

Vito loves holding paintbrushes, so instead of giving him crayons to scribble I gave him paints for him to try with his paintbrush.   Vito loves the creamy texture and the vivid colour is so good in the eye!

I previously made these homemade shakers.  They’re plastic travel bottles, with beads and pastas in them. We shake them to produce sounds, and at times I would sing children’s songs with the shakers.

The weather has been so glorious lately.  So I took a few leaves and brought them home so Vito can play with them.  He loves holding the petiole and waving the leaf  like a flag.

Here’s Vito exploring Mavi’s school grounds. He loves it there!  outdoor
Well, that’s it for now! Hope you enjoy the post.  Till the next one!

    I love that Usborne series... That's not my... We have lots of them, and the kids never grow tired of it!

      We love them too! I already searched the library for some available books and will be reserving them next year once we get back from our vacation.

    What a great start! I had no idea what I was doing when we first started tot school and at first presented activities that my son was in no way ready for. It looks like your works are perfect for a one year old and are also really fun :)

      I had that situation with my first born. Now with Vito, I learned my lesson and remind myself to start with simple age- appropriate things. Don't worry you're doing a great job! No one can really say what's best or good, but the Mommy :)

    Gosh, you make me miss those days when my boys were just wee little ones! I especially love the homemade color card -- it looks pretty darn professional, actually.

      Oh I would also say that to others when I didn't have Vito yet :) They're growing up fast!

      Yes just about an hour a day, enough for him to learn something.

      Thanks! He's enjoying his walking stage! Can't seem to settle. I added it headers so I can organise the plethora of photos in the post :D
