Halloween is just around the corner and we’re having the “feel” at home by working on some “halloweeny” activities. Here’s our working trays for the next few weeks:
TOP: tonging creep creatures, scooping black beans into pumpkin bags
MIDDLE: counting halloween objects using a pumpkin counter, letter matching using alphabet cards (all cards are from HALLOWEEN TODDLER PACK)
BOTTOM: pouring corn kernels, pumpkin face crafts
Practical Life Activities
Practical life activities are those building and improving skills that are of use in the daily life, like pouring, scooping, transferring etc. The benefits include hand-eye coordination and concentration. To know more about practical life activities, visit my post here and here.
Everything that involves the corn kernels and the black beans were a hit! Both Mavi and Vito played with it for long periods of time and I get to do chores while they’re messing around 
Numbers and Alphabet
As I mentioned earlier, I always integrate a little bit of counting and phonics into our daily activities. Vito is currently more into counting than the alphabets, so this counting cards that I made for him was a hit! He loves identifying the objects in the cards and counting them using the pumpkin counters.
An extra fun phonic game I included is discovering letters from the purse and matching them on the cards. Similar activity with the Alphabet Sensory Bin except that we’re using a purse this time and used both the upper and lowercase letters. The wooden letters used here were from Hape Uppercase and Lowercase Puzzle.
