Tot School: Dogs & Ducks

Jackson is 21 mos old.

We read SO many books this week! We read:
Dora's Book of Manners
Clifford: Where is the Big Red Doggie by Norman Bridwell
Quack! by Phyllis Root
Duck & Goose 1,2,3 by Tad Hills
Doggies by Sandra Boynton

Songs: 5 Little Ducks & How much is that doggy in the window?

We focused on "D" activities this week. Jackson spent a lot of time chasing our dog around the yard and trying to play ball with him!

I made Jackson a small felt board out of cardboard and sticky felt, then printed off some duck and dog clipart to put on the board and play with.

We made drums out of pots.

He colored a dog with markers and a duck with do-a-dot markers.

We got out his Yo Gabba Gabba radio and danced. He likes to hold his radio while he dances!

We took a drive....

.....out to the pond to watch the ducks. Jackson loved this activity! He just laughed and laughed at the ducks.  They came right up to us. I guess they are used to people feeding them, but I didn't even think about taking bread or something like that with us.

Jackson ate dog and dinosaur sandwiches and had apples with caramel dip for lunch.

We went to the park one day and I forgot my camera, but we went down the slide and Jackson had fun digging in the sand with the other kids. I didn't get pictures of him playing with his rubber duckies in the bath either: we sang 5 Little Ducks a lot this week!

Saturday there was a Softball/BBQ picnic for Jason's boat. We spent most of the time chasing Jackson around the softball field (and trying to keep him from splashing through the mud!)
