Camping tot school

Lovebug is 31 months old

Trying to squeeze in the last bit of summer before autumn takes over, we decided to do a camping unit for tot school this week. We used the fabulous camping unit from 2teachingmamas. Love Bug absolutely loved it!

We set up a few tents and added a bit of camping gear (bear included).

Love Bug has a great time playing in the tee pee I made for Jedi several years ago. Nice when things last for more than one child.

Puzzles are a favorite for her, and she's really starting to understand that the numbers written are the same thing we are saying as we count.

More puzzle magic. This is probably waaaay to easy for her at this point, but she loves to do them anyway.

Size sequencing

"Clippy" numbers.

One of the things I love about Love Bug is her ability to give things names that just make sense. She thinks the clips are great and asks for a clippy activity every day.

Magnet dots. We can't get enough of dots around here.

Letter "T" again with the pink theme...

Reading with Buddy Bear

Camping themed sensory box.

Tots Together day!!

We made "alphabet soup" then took turns serving up letters and put them in alphabetical order-then sang the alphabet song to check our work!

Snack was a mini 'campfire' compliments of my friend RG whose turn it was for snack time.

Of course we roasted marshmallow and made smore's

And made "t's" hiding in tents

Then we sorted bears by color. So popular, it was done twice and some kids even wanted to do it a third time.

Love our little campfire. It was made with the cardboard for a freezer pizza as the base, two wrapping paper rolls cut up, yellow and red cellophane, and a battery operated candle. (and hot glue for the logs, tape for the flames) We plan to use it again soon!! (inspiration)

Happy camping!!
