St. Patrick’s Day Activities for 28 Months Toddler

Monday, February 29, 2016

*** contains affiliate links ***

Vito is 28 months old.

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and we are excited to watch the parade in the city this year!  To introduce Ireland’s big celebration to Vito, I prepared a bunch of work trays for him this month as he turns 28 months old.  I featured 9 activities here but in reality we’re doing so much more, so I’ll just update the blog of our other activities that are not included here.

St. Patrick’s Day Activities for 28 Months Toddler

1. Ireland Matching Cards

These cards are similar to the picture books (China, Japan, Ancient Egypt, Spain, Greece, Australia) that I have already in the shop.  The cards here are all about the icons of Ireland.

2. Sorting Erasers

I got these erasers since last year and it is only now that Vito started to enjoy sorting them.

3. Sorting Colors

Using the Montessori Colour Tablets #2.  Vito will be sorting the rainbow colors using our Learning Resources counters.  In the picture, we’re using the insect counters.

4. Letter R and Round Magnets

This Rainbow Do a Dot came from here.  It’s a good practice for hand eye coordination.  Vito carefully placed the round magnets exactly inside the dots.

5. Creating a rainbow using Do a Dot Markers

Similar to the Rainbow do a dot but this time we’re using the markers.  I showed Vito how to color the rainbow and he finished half of the page.  And no, he didn’t follow the order of the rainbow colors (as expected).  You can get the rainbow pattern from Making Learning Fun.

6. Pouring lentils using a funnel

Out of all the activiites, this one is Vito’s favourite.  More on this later.

7.  Scooping lentils

He’s quite bored with scooping activities lately, maybe because we’ve been doing them all throughout the week.  And besides, he enjoyed using his hands more than using a scoop or spoon.

8. Counting gold coins

I bought the gold coins in Amazon for our Pirate Unit last year, and this time Vito gets to use it for St. Patrick’s Day.  We have more counting activities than letters because believe it or not, Vito is more interested in counting than letters.

9. Patterning

This is for color recognition and introduction to patterning.  We are using the link cubes I bought from Singapore years ago, but you can also purchase these in Amazon.  This March, we’re working on orange and green colors, so our color activities will revolve around these two colors.

10. One to one correspondence using clothes pins

A new addition to our monthly work trays is this counting cards and clothes pins.  We have lots of pins at home but found them difficult to open, so I bought the wooden ones for Vito to practice on.  He’s able to open and close them.  And now his biggest challenge is to clip them to the pictures. This activity is a counting practice and enhancement of hand-eye coordination skills.
