Today we read “The Frog in the Pond” and discussed different animals that live in the pond.
This month we are studying the color white . The toddlers enjoyed taking a trip to the arctic in their discovery tubs. They found items such as ice blocks, igloos, polar bears, arctic foxes, caribous, seals, whales, and walruses.
We could not go outside to play…so we brought outside… inside! 🙂
Christmas light color matching activity…
Paper plate wreaths….
In our discovery tubs the toddlers found farm animals, corn, straw, birdseed and tongs.
When kids use tongs, they have to learn to “separate” the two sides of their hands (thumb/index finger side and middle/ring/pinky finger side), which is a great for developing hand skills, necessary for cutting with scissors and writing with pencils. Tong play can begin as early as toddlerhood and can progress to more refined use of kiddie chopsticks and tiny tweezers as kids progress through elementary school. It’s never too late to have fun with tongs! *
