Hello! I'm back, friends! There’s so much to blog about and discuss regarding homeschooling and the educational activities we've been involved in over the past few months. However, I’m currently feeling a bit overwhelmed with things at home. I did want to take a moment to share some activities I prepared for Max this Valentine's Day. As he gets older, I find that we can tackle more challenging activities while still sticking to the themes he enjoys.
TOP TRAYS:
- Max enjoys spinning and building Valentine's Day pattern blocks; he really loves this activity!
- We also trace lines using manipulatives or marker pens, and the printable comes from a Valentine's Day Mini Unit.
- Additionally, we create shapes using geosticks, which offer a hands-on opportunity for Max to construct shapes instead of just matching them.
MIDDLE TRAYS:
- Counting clip cards from 1 to 10, part of the Valentine's Day Mini Unit.
- We will use color sorting activities to enhance fine motor skills; the materials can be purchased here.
- We have beginning sound mats with a Valentine's Day theme available in my shop. I collected several miniatures from our toob collections and toys for Max to sort based on their beginning sounds. We also did a similar activity for Winter.
BOTTOM TRAYS:
- Pin poking magic! It’s his first experience, so let's discover if he’ll fall in love with it.
- We’re diving into counting mats with a vibrant rainbow mandala set from Grapat, complemented by a printable from our Valentine's Day Counting Gumball Mats.
- And we're creating a charming chocolate box for our Valentine's Day craft this year! This is part of our Valentine's Day Craft set.
