I have decided to start doing some theme based learning activities with Lucas, my hopes is that it will create more structure in to our routine not only for Lucas but for me when planning activities.
The theme we have started with is transportation – Lucas loves trucks, trains, planes, boats, and buses so this has been a very easy transition for us so far!
Lucas is 26 Months
Here is a look at what we did this week…
Cc is for Cars! With cars stickers
Lucas also put some stickers on his face.. his big brother taught him to do this! Lucas worked on some of his puzzles this week too, this one 
that he got for Christmas – he loves it because its has a school bus!
He also did his other favourite puzzle, the

Lucas built a road for his school bus out of our blocks.
In the sensory table Lucas made car tracks in the play dough.
I made some transportation bottle top cards, inspired by this post. You can find the download for them here.
This is another activity I made for Lucas, you can find the post about it and the download here. 
For some open ended art I set up our craft table for Lucas to paint with some of his little cars. I love his delicate fingers in this photo : ) 
We did this same activity last year in march – I cant believe how much he has matured since then!We are going to continue on with this theme next week as well, Lucas is loving it and I have a million other ideas for us to do!
That’s it for this week! Visit 1plus1plus1equals1 to see what other tots are learning.
It's amazing how much kids remember. We we painted with cars with my little guy a couple years ago and he STILL talks about it. We should really do this again
ReplyDeleteGreat theme, I'm saving it for ideas for my guy. Where'd you get the Thomas shirt? My guy LOVES Thomas!
ReplyDeleteKate, its actually a pajama shirt! I usually have Lucas pick out his own clothes and that was what he wanted to wear that day! I believe the pajama set was from walmart.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'll check there. He's already got one Thomas pajama set and when I go to change him in the morning he freaks cause he doesn't want to wear anything but Thomas. He has two short sleeved Thomas shirts so I've been putting a long sleeve onesie on first and then the Tshirt to make him happy. The only other shirt I can happily get him to wear has a dinosaur on it, I really didn't expect a 2 year old to care about clothes.
ReplyDeleteGreat week! I am so bad at sticking to a theme. It was one of my goals for the year that I have yet to achieve. Love the painting with the wheels! Kerri
