Tot School: D is for Dinosaur!




Tot Schoolabc button
Jackson is 27 months old. 

Jackson is getting yet another new tooth. I am hoping it is his last one for awhile because he has been very cranky all week! He is still sleeping well though (knock on wood!!)

We read the story Mine-o-saur by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen. Jackson loves to listen to this story over and over again. If you've never heard it, you should definitely check it out. It's about a dinosaur who learns to share and there are lots of rhyming parts.

Our craft this week was making a dinosaur out of the letter D. I found this idea here.

For fine motor skills I tried to do a clothespin stegasaurus but Jackson wasn't too interested.

I also wanted him to dig for dinosaurs, but he didn't really want to do that either! (Like I said, he was super cranky this week!)

He did a couple of cute coloring pages, and the letter D tracing page (lots of dinosaur printables found here).

He played playdough with his dad for a little while.  I had dinosaur cookie cutters for them to use, but Jason seemed to like playing with it more than Jackson did!


And of course he wore his dino pj's!

Looks like some great ideas! :) What did you put the dino's in for him to dig? Just curious if it's sand or other house hold stuff...
