Letter R: Robots, Numbers Book (Day 2)
R is for Robot: After reading a few books about robots from our Letter R Booklist, we used Robot Stickers to fill in a letter R. This idea is from Mom's Tot School.
Robot Tinker Tray: I hadn't heard of tinker trays until this week, and was so excited to put together a Robot Tinker Tray this week! I found this idea on Mom's Tot School (see first picture below). We used floral foam (from the Dollar Store) wrapped in tinfoil and all sorts of things to decorate: stickers, buttons, beads, paper clips, little jewels, sequins, toothpicks, pipe cleaners and goggle eyes. Easton and Livie especially enjoyed items that could poke into the floral foam (toothpicks and pipe cleaners). The kids LOVED these.
Letter R Number Book: I found this idea on the Measured Mom blog. I'm not sure how this book relates to the Letter R, but we had fun doing it anyways. Easton sometimes needs a little push to do number activities, but not with this book! He was so excited about the pictures of tractors and airplanes, etc. The book reviews numbers 1-10. Really, Easton could have gone through this book before knowing any of his numbers. We used our Power Magnets to fill in the circles. Click here to print.
