My 2yo (Z) only gets 6 boxes and then he participates in several of C's boxes as well. I'll be honest I wing it with Z quite a bit, but I have finally started to get some Preschool things in order, and we are learning the letter F this week.
His favorite thing from his workbox this week so far is Playdough with an F and Fish cookie cutter.
Other things in Z's work box are:
2 bowls with rice and a measuring cup is also a favorite!
We are also using Confessions of a Homeschooler Letter of the Week Curriculum - F is for FISH
and I was introduced to education cubes, and will be using those this week with both boys. With C I put letters in them to spell his spelling words, and with Z I have put pictures of things that start with F. You can get all the info about Education Cubes here
I really need to plan better for Z, I'm trying to get more organized with activities for him, and need to come up with some goals for him as well. I need C to be a bit more independent so I can do more one-on-one with Z.
Would love to hear ideas from others that have Kinder and Preschool age kids...how do you do it??
