Montessori Tot School - still on the ocean theme

Grinding Chalk.

Making prints by squirting paint on one side of a piece of a pre-folded paper and then folding and revealing the painting.  The big reveal was the highlight of this activity.

Turning lids over with a small spatula.  I stuck ocean stickers under them to add a point of interest.  

Some ocean themed trays using Carisa's letter J printables from 1+1+1=1. Green tray: Coloring (J-jo attempted it with me telling him which to color what color, but Bear did the actual coloring you see).  Pink tray: Hole reinforcer stickers over the J's on the jellyfish.  J-jo liked this one. Yellow Tray: stamping J on the jelly fish printout.  Our stamps are a little small (perfect for Bear though as a replacement for the moveable alphabet) and J-jo struggles with holding them correctly.

 Hard at work on his favorite of the three trays.

 

 Reading a counting book downloaded from 1+1+1=1 - I think this one is from her ocean's lapbook.

 He also pulled the presentation tray of the geometric cabinet down and used it as a knob puzzle.
