Toddler School: Spring Semester

We finished off our Fall semester of Toddler School really well! We stuck to our curriculum pretty well, and I was glad that Eli and Maddie were actually excited to sit through it all. I think keeping it really simple helped keep us on track. It never felt super overwhelming, and if we missed a scheduled day, we could just do it another day, since I only planned activities for 2 days a week. 

We have already kicked off our Spring semester, and I am learning what Eli and Maddie are excited about...and what they seem to tolerate haha. Books and fun activities/games are always a favorite, but they are not loving my on-theme-songs. They like music and listening to music, but the themed songs that I sing to them are a no-go. They basically just stare at me; and the more animated I am, the less they seem to be on board. Fun pre-school teacher, I am not. Oh well. Overall, they are talking more about the things we learn, so I know they are actually learning. So that's gotta be a win, yes?

Grandma and Papa got us a trial of the KiwiCo crates, and those have been a BIG hit. They LOVE them! They're such great little activities for them, and one of the boxes even matched a theme we talked about in January, so that was a few less supplies Mommy had to buy {win!} So I actually went ahead and ordered another few months of the boxes once the trial ran out. I know that I am personally enjoying the crates too!

This was our music box! We made a tambourine and a xylophone.

If you are interested in trying the crates {they make them for ALL ages}, then you can use my code to get $10 off! https://www.kiwico.com/Refer?i=ErinM1014
