Fish Theme List of Materials

Here are all the materials and resources that we will be using in our Fish Theme for the month of April.  I prepared this list for those who wanted to follow our activities and those who are inquiring about the materials we are using. 

Painting the Moon

Vito is 28 months old.

We have an amazing full moon during Holy Week so I encouraged the boys to the paint the moon.  I can’t believe that it turned out so beautiful and realistic!  The craters are naturally formed and the color combination of paints were fantastic.  The best part about this is that it’s so simple to make!

April Tot School Curriculum

Hello everyone! We’re changing how we do learning activities at home and I am happy to announce that I finally created a curriculum for Vito.  This is perfect to those who wants to follow along with us, or to those who are looking for a reference.  With Mavi, I can whip any activities and he would just go along with it, especially activities that includes letters and reading.  But Vito is different, he’s loving movements,  exploring objects, games and anything that he sees in the books! While we work on our main themes,  our Tot School letters will be in the background.

So this is how it will work.  Every 20th of each month, I will publish the curriculum for the coming month so you have enough time to prepare.  I will try my best to come up with activities that are easy to assemble as I want working Moms to be able to do this as well. 

I will share the activities and our progress each day through my blog and Instagram. Please do follow me on Instagram, I posts interesting stuff there in real time!  At the end of the week, I will recap all the activities and share it to everyone.   I will try my best to archive these themes so you can easily access all this data in my blog as your reference. It’s up to you want to follow the curriculum weekly with us or decided to it at your own pace. 

Without further ado, here’s my April Tot School Curriculum

This will serve as our guidelines for the month of April.  In case we may miss a theme due to sickness, holidays or vacations we will reschedule it. I will have a separate post for all the materials and supplies that you will need for each theme. Stay tuned!

Favourite Phonic Games

I always find it hard to get Vito to do alphabet activities with me.  Mavi was already learning how to spell 2.5 years old and although Vito knows the letters and sounds they make, he’s still not at it when it comes to doing the activities.

So I started reading my favourite blogs (since 2010) and came across these activities from NurturingLearning.com.  These activities requires movements which Vito loves to do to keep him engaged in alphabet activities.
