Alphabet:G is for Goat
Theme: The Farm
We are linking up to Tot school :
Pretend play
I wanted to go to a real farm but the thought of animals in captivity does not appeal to me. Therefore, we have a pretend farm.
This is actually the train table to which I added some farm animals, props and a digger.
Tiger enjoyed playing with the DIY barn i made from a box. You can see it is not very well made cause the pieces were coming off..haha..
This is the back of the barn.
The roof can be opened to see the animals inside and for storage later
Printables for DIY barn here
I printed & laminated some pieces from this gorgeous farm life printable from Lawteedah here for singing:
- Old Macdonald Had A Farm
- Farmer in The Dell
Learning letter G:
He really likes the EVA foam letters
We have started our sandpaper letter tracing. Tutorial for sandpaper letters here
He makes the letter sound for 'g' everytime he traces.
He goes gak, gak, gak
The Leapfrog fridge phonics and Playskool Alphie makes my life easier for phonics
Tot trays
Playing with the 3 part magnetic farm animal puzzles.
He is trying to make them stand, which he can't.
Spent a good 15 minutes doing this while sitting cross legged
Seemingly threading buttons but he was just pulling the thread :)
My little magpie likes his new sparkly pom-poms from Daiso
Playing with the small-pegged numbers puzzles.
Pre writing worsheets:
G is for Gigabyte too...LOL
We did a lot of paperwork this week. Will post our 'art' as soon as I get Daddy to put up the new Ikea rail.
World study
Still enjoying his continent map.
Art
Painting on 'Girl With a Pearl Earring' by Johannes Vermeer
Music:
Signs 'listen' and hum whenever I play a note.
Ask for the piano by signing 'listen'

We had a rather quiet weekend cause Tiger's down with a mild case of flu. Mommy did some shopping for Tiger's Tot School though.
My finds:
1. Crayola Dry Erase Activity Center
2. Crayola Beginnings. I am a sucker for Crayola, especially the pig in this set :p
3. Desk and Chair from Ikea
4. More picture books from Borders. I found The Rainbow Fish. Yay!!
5. Water table. Yay!! Not exactly Tot School but I've always wanted one. It's for sensorial..hah

Hi, may I know where you got the mini EVA foam letters? Thanks!
Hi Liv,
I am assuming you are from Malaysia. Then the easiest places would be Giant or Tesco.
They are quite versatile and you can use them for sensory bins and art later on. Hope you can find it :)
Hi Jessica, may I know where do you purchase the animal sets (both land and sea animals)?
P.S. I have been reading your blogs and there are really great information and ideas. Thanks for blogs. :) I have a feeling I may leave a message here and there as to where you purchase the toys for your tots. Thanks again for the sharing. Really appreciate it.
Hi Ling,
My animals are from either Parkson or Toycity. Wait for the 20% sales! I will send you the template once I get my pendrive back from a fren.
