Tot School- The Letter P


~E is 28 months old~

This week we focused on the letter P. We read the following great books on Penguins, Puffins and Polar Bears that we checked out from the libarary. (We had another good book on penguins but I can't find it right now)


We watched internet videos on National Geographic about Penguins, Porcupines, Puffins, and Polar Bears. (Who knew there were so many animals that started with a "P"!)

We played with a stuffed penguin.  It was actually one of my toys.  The poor feet are about to fall off!



We painted.


Played with homemade playdough.


Made mini-pizzas for lunch.




We also made letters out of toothpicks. Here is is making a P.


Our non-P activities included two versions of fill-and-spill(Those are very tiring games for Momma... because it means we have lots of pieces to pick up), reading lots of books, counting bears, and outdoor play.

I think we will focus on P again this week because there is much more we could do.

  1. I love the idea of making letters out of toothpicks. I'll try remember that one for when we start on the alphabet. Looking forward to seeing more 'Letter P' activities next week.
