Cowboy tracing Letter V worksheet from Confessions of a Homeschooler on his Dry Erase Center .


Even though it was Valentines, and Vultures are not anything "Lovely", I still wanted to go over our Discussion Page to introduce what a vulture was :) 



 Size Sequencing with Hearts and Valentines Day Matching Game from Over the Big Moons Tot Pack





Conversation Hearts Magnet Printable Tray 


Of Course Cowboy LOVED this Tray and was super quick at finishing it so that he could eat the Hearts!! 




He did a fantastic job on his own !!! 




Then I helped build with him and showed him how cool it was to watch them get Smaller and Smaller as they went up 





Tech Time..

Cowboy Learned about the Letter V on the Ipad and Alphabet Soup Sorters , while Lou did some studying for Science on Quizlet. 


Butter helped make some yummy Confetti Heart Cupcakes !! He loved helping pour the ingredients and Stirring the batter.  


Heart Sorting and Beading Tray with Heart Beads


There are so many things you can do with this Tray! We Sorted, Filled the V, Counted, made patterns, and Cowboy insisted on making me a Bracelet :P

Tiny Tot School With Butter 


This Tray was super easy to throw together for Butter! I took some Balls out of the Jumbo Magneatos Set, and used this mini trash can with a revolving lid, and showed him how to put the balls in one at a time- while he did this I would say the color of the ball and he would repeat it. Then we dumped them all out and he would do it again until he got tired of it and was ready to move onto another Tray.



All of my kids LOVE this Busy Gears toy. Its one of Butters Favorites, we talk about the colors of the gears, and he just stacks, plays and has fun with all the moving gears and the sounds they make.



What Goes together? Sorting- I put different objects on this tray, and showed him how to Separate and Sort each item individually by each item, then we dumped them out and repeat. I also tried to do by "Color" as well, thinking it would probably be way out there for him to understand what I was meaning, he actually did pretty good!!! I was so excited to see him in action!! 



Transportation Vocabulary Cards- This was our first "Official" time trying Vocabulary Cards!!  He knew about half of them, and I told him the rest and he would repeat them after me =]


I thought I would just try and let him put together 3 piece puzzle, at first he was really just putting them on the board- I'm pretty sure he was getting frustrated with it- so we moved on to Magnetic Letters :P in which he enjoyed a lot more!





Tiger! Oh how Shocked I was that he could say it and knew what it was before I even had to tell him!! 


Coloring the Tiger in Cowboys Tot Book... He loved putting the tops back on the markers



Dot Paint the Letter T- I showed him how to dot the first few and then he did a few and then right on into Freestyle Dotting !! Which was so cute to watch! 



Putting together Melissa & Doug Beginner Pattern Blocks puzzles his favorites were the Fish, Choo Choo and Puppy- 




The boys absolutely Adore their BIG SISTER Lou! And LOVE when she plays with them! Here they are playing together having a little people Reunion with all the little people toys (Little People A to Z Learning Zoo Little People Playground Little People Market )

Butter and Cowboy relaxing, playing Bugs and Bubbles... TOGETHER with no fussing- Precious :P
