Letter B Tot Trays and Explorer Box

 Here are the letter "B" activities

 I had ready for Smiley B

to work with this past week...

************************************

Explorer Box:

 I just took the Apple Orchard Explorer Box

from last week and added a few new "friends":

a Bear, a Bunny, and some Bees

(I think Smiley is getting a little bored by this box-

he only played with it once.

Time for a bigger change next week...)

****************************************

Tot Trays:

Buttons and Clothes Tray

 

Smile B used tweezers,

and eventually his hands,

to put buttons on the different pieces of clothing.

*************************************

Play Dough Tray

Smiley B had blue play dough to work with this week,
and some play dough toys,
including a bear and butterfly cookie cookies.

***************************************

Pattern Blocks Tray

Sometime during my public school teaching days,

I came across some 

Pattern Block Animal Sheets...

...so I set out the
"Bunny" and "Bird" sheets
for Smiley B to work on.

I was pretty impressed by his ability to
work these puzzles out...

...Just look at that little face,
concentrating so hard!

*************************************

Alphabet Book Page Tray

Smiley B decorated a giant letter "B"...

...with a variety of animal stickers,
all of them beginning with the letter "B":

Bees
Bugs
Butterflies
Bears
Birds

(Look how sweetly these boys work next to each other!)

*****************************************

Bead Tray

For fine motor skills practice,
Smiley B strung beads onto
leather cords.

**************************************

Bear Puppet Tray

Smiley B colored a bear puppet printable I in my files
from WHO-KNOWS-WHEN...

...and Little Wild Man cut it out
and put it together for Smiley B.

********************************

Button Magnet Tray

For some extra Letter B fun,
I set out a magnetic dry erase board...

...along with some button magnets
I found at the Dollar Tree.

Smiley B had fun making pictures with them...

Now,

on to the Letter C...
