Each month the toddlers focus on one color. September is Yellow! We have read Hello Yellow and Little Bea, watched and sang along to Heidi’s Hello Yellow video, selected counted and named yellow items in the mystery can, had a yellow hunt in our classroom, played with yellow play-dough, tasted yellow lemons, and used half lemons as a stamper to make circle prints! We will continue to explore yellow throughout the month.
Toddlers use all their senses to explore the world around them. We spent some time naming the five senses, reading a story about our senses, then using all of our senses to observe a treat in the mystery can.
Hearing. I shook the mystery can. We used our ears and listened. We decided it was a soft sound.
Sight. I took the lid of the mystery can to give the toddlers a peak. Inside were lots of round white items. Marshmallows!
Smell. We then used our nose to try out our sense of smell. The marshmallows smelled sweet!
Touch. We then used our hands to feel the squishy and soft marshmallows.
Taste. Finally we got to taste the marshmallows. Yummy!
