Learn Imagine Grow Tot Time

 

Welcome to Learn Imagine Grow.  The focus of this will be to share the adventures of Rylee’s Tot Time activities and planning.  I hope you can find the activities simple to put together and educational. 

 

A few notes…..We will be making a Letter book with our letter crafts that we do each week.  I am planning on taking a picture of each craft and making a shutterfly book for Rylee, however this can also be done by placing each craft in a protective sleeve and using a 3-ring binder.

Also, a lot of the printable activities require lamination so that they hold up.  I do not have a laminator but have been using clear contact paper.  I also make sure to print each activity on cardstock vs regular printer paper for extra durability. 

At the beginning of each week I will post a lesson plan for the weeks activities.  This is an over view of all the activities that I have planned including links to where the printables or items can be found. `

My weekly plans are strictly based on what I feel Rylee can do, but I’m sure they can be adapted to use with both younger and older children. 

I hope you enjoy and find this helpful.
