Tot School - Letter Ii

Mouse is 37mths old.

Letter Ii activities

Here is his Tot Tray corner on the first day.

Letter Ii setup

Letter Ii poking page from COAH and we also used the Letter Ii tracing page in prewriting practice.

Do A Dot practice from COAH again. We used a round stamp and inkpad because I still can't find an economical option to purchase Do A Dot markers from the US. I haven't found these in Singapore yet.

Stamping is always fun for Mouse!

Pattern blocks practice with activity card also from COAH.

Prewriting practice is from the Ice Cream Pack from 2TeachingMommies.

Prewriting practice for Ii

Included in the pack are clip cards for counting Ice Cream. We used some small wooden clothespegs from Daiso. His grip is improving and he's now able to open them by himself, although his fingers got rather tired by the 8th card and he needed help with the last few.

Cutting practice with scissors. We cut up the ice cream pieces to use as pattern making cards.

Here are the pattern cards in action.

And of course, we couldn't miss out the Ice Cream colouring.

Blue icecream, yummy flavour?

I is for Ice Cream Do A Dot practice with pompom magnets.

Letter Ii maze from 1+1+1=1. This is the first time we are using transparent counters to mark the route. Erm, he put two counters on the wrong letters on purpose, for fun d:)

Cotton buds painting practice from 1+1+1=1 but he preferred to paint straight lines (as if he were writing) rather then do dotting with the cotton bud.

Matching upper and lowercase letters on the pocket chart. Printouts from 1+1+1=1, I printed two pages per sheet so they would be smaller and to save ink.

I made my own activity card for bottle cap matching practice because I couldn't find any for Ice Cream on the web.

Bottle cap matching for Ice Cream

Non Letter Ii activities

Sticking straws into the large holes of a parsley flakes bottle.

Hanging out with some animal puzzle friends.

Threading beads onto pipe cleaners.

Building blocks activity - I printed out these cards but can't remember which site I got them from! Basically they are structures built from building blocks for the child to copy. At first, he placed the blocks on the picture, but I demonstrated and pointed out block by block so he understood after a bit.
