Tot School: P is for Princess

Luv Bug is 36 months old

I had a lot of cute things planned for this week, but we ended up having a play date and Luv Bug had immunizations, so we didn't get to everything. We still had a fun week though. We are learning about the letter P.  I saw this adorable Princess preschool pack at 1+1+1=1 and this pack at Confessions of a Homeschooler, and I decided to do a Princess theme for Luv Bug. The only princess story she knows is The Princess and the Pea, so she's not too familiar with the concept, but she still enjoyed our week.

I set out 6 trays this week

 I made Pink and Purple playdough, using this recipe from Teacher Tom. I LOVE this recipe.

 Luv Bug found the new sun hat I bought for the pool this summer and wore it all morning.

 Princess stickers. The small sheet came in a set I bought ahwile back. The big sheet was part of this set by Melissa and Doug.

 I dyed Pink and Purple rice and made Luv Bug an I spy bottle. I've seen them a lot lately on pinterest.

 I didn't have a pink paint cup, so I planned on taping pink foam around the top of the red cup, but before I could, Luv Bug got hold of the tray and completed it. She used the tongs a few times but preferred using her hands.

 I've had these alphabet foam letters sitting around for awhile. I dug out the Pink and Purple ones (except for a few I couldn't find) and gave Luv Bug some glue and a grid with lowercase letters. I told her the letters were fancy like a princess may make. They were a different 'font' than she is used to, but she was able to figure out most on her own.

 I made Pink salt for Luv Bug to draw in. (salt mixed with grated chalk)

 I made a Pink and Purple sensory bin. I set it on the table and went to get my camera. When I walked back in the room, I realized that it looked a little like a crown.

 I used plastic and paper fake grass for the base, then searched around for anything pink or purple she might have fun with.

She did some of the printables from Confessions of a Homeschooler's Princess pack.

 The rest of the printables were from 1+1+1=1's Preschool Princess pack.

I included this picture because Luv Bug chose this activity herself and had SO MUCH fun.

I had a cute crown craft planned but Luv Bug wasn't feeling too well after her shots so we didn't get around to it. Another day, I set out a cute dress up dress, pretty shoes and a little tiara and asked if she's like to dress up. She told me she was already dressed. She has a bin of dress up clothes, but has yet to wear any:(

I thought this was funny, I put everything together on Saturday night. A few days later, one of my favorite blogs, Discovery Days and Montessori Moments, posted about their theme. They were also doing Princesses. I wish it had posted before, because she had several cute ideas. There's always next year:)

It was nice getting back into our routine after being sick. Now that we are all healthy, things can finally get back to normal.
