Little Bear has been enjoying the gardening tot trays that I put together for Smiley Man, so I thought it would be fun to give him a gardening activity of his own. Little Bear has been asking a lot of questions about gardens lately. We are not able to have a garden this year, :(… Continue reading Garden Cut, Paste, and Color Page

Gardening Themed Tot School Trays
After a very crazy weekend, I was up late last night with a sick Smiley Man. :( So, I’m sorry that this post went up a little late. He seems to be doing a little better this morning, so the rest of the posts for this week should go up without any delay. We will… Continue reading Gardening Themed Tot School Trays
Bug Themed Tot School Trays
What can I do for toddler school that will teach my tot about bugs? I was so excited to put these trays together. I have two boys so bugs were a natural choice for a tot school theme. Little Bear has already been bug hunting and telling me all about the grasshoppers and beetles outside.… Continue reading Bug Themed Tot School Trays

Space Themed Montessori Tot School Trays

We did a space theme for tot school and I have to say, these were some of my favorite trays to put together. I’m pretty… Continue reading Space Themed Montessori Tot School Trays
5 Montessori Practical Life Activities for Toddlers
Back when Little Bear was a toddler if somebody told me I should do practical life activities from the Montessori method with my toddler I would have said, “What is practical life in Montessori?” Luckily, I have since learned quite a bit about the Montessori methods, and I really appreciate the practical life activities. Unfortunately,… Continue reading 5 Montessori Practical Life Activities for Toddlers
Easter Themed Tot School Trays
With Easter so early this year, March is full of holiday stuff. I usually only do holiday-themed tot trays once a month (I change the tot trays every two weeks), but with Easter coming up so soon, I had to do the Easter trays right after the St. Patrick’s Day trays. That means that there… Continue reading Easter Themed Tot School Trays
St. Patrick’s Day Themed Tot School Trays
We love tot trays!!! Seriously, I cannot say this enough. It is the perfect “homeschool” to do with my toddler. Our trays are all about playing, but Smiley Man thinks he is doing work just like his big brother. So far, Smiley has loved all of the activities and trays that he has done. This… Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day Themed Tot School Trays
