Tot School and Preschool: Letter Yy

Im running majorly behind this week. I wasnt home all weekend so I never got either of my posts up. 

So thats it why they are both in one post this week!

We started the week doing our Letter Y  do a dot picture

He colored his bible verse for the week.

 He did his favorite number puzzle.

 We worked on pouring pom poms from one bucket to another. He loves this as well.

 We played playdough this week. Its been awhile since Ive brought it out so he loved it!

 He got to play in our new Fall Sensory Bin. And he got to pick a prize out of it.

 He picked the Turkey wood piece to color

 He loved the little pumpkins and the acorn bells that are in the Sensory Bin that he started collecting them and he didnt want anyone else to get them.

Number Mats 1- 10

I have in the past downloaded Number Mats from other sites that were for specific themes. But as I get more and more into the homeschooling stuff I am to the point where I try to save as much ink as possible. So I try to make my printables reusable and for no certain themes. 

Austin is working on jumping so I figured I would incorporate the numbers in and also make it so my number mats were more for an every day theme. With these mats I will call out a number and he will have to jump to it. I will also say things like "crawl to the number 9", "walk slowly to number 2". Different things to keep him thinking and the game fun!

Here is a set of Number Mats 1-10 

(image will take you to download)
The set is only 5 pages as I was conserving paper as well! You just cut them in half on the line!

 Set 11-20 will be coming soon! 

These would also work great as a reference tool for hanging on the wall! 


Enjoy!!

Number's 1-10 Tracing Papers

Can now be bought in a set with numbers 1-20 HERE

This set contains numbers 1- 10.
I plan to laminate them so my boys can reuse them!

Set 11- 20 will be coming soon!

Enjoy!
