Dropping clothespins into an empty juice bottle
Tot School – 30mos
Space Sensory Bin – I have some blue rocks, and glass beads, some rubber jacks, glow in the dark stars, planets, two large bouncy balls with glitter inside, the top of a toob, and a measuring scoop.
Golf tees and marbles with a block of wood (the hubs drilled holes in it to fit the golf tees). Put golf tees in holes and then place marbles on top.
Spooning star buttons
Tweezing pom-pom balls and putting into cupcake tin (I liked that the tins were the foil one for this,b/c it looks space like!)
Space Puzzle
Star Size Sorting – FREE FROM ME
Moon Rocks counting (#1-6), (#7-12) – FREE FROM ME, the numbers are on moons. Used with smooth rocks (‘moon rocks’) for counters.
Glitter Galaxy Playdough with star, circle and moon cutters.
Recipe:
1 3/8c Flour
1/2c salt
2t cream of tarter
3T oil
Glitter (I added about 1/4c of silver)
1c water
blue food coloring
Mix all ingredients in a sauce pan and heat over med until thick and it forms a ball. Knead until smooth. Add more coloring as you wish. (I halved the recipe I used for the Pumpkin Spice Playdough, that’s why the measurements are a bit odd).

This week’s Read Aloud – Star Jumper: Journal of a Cardboard Genius
Space words and Lowercase Letters (Teaching Tiles)
Activity from Ordinary Parents Guide to Teaching Your Child to Read – ‘ea’ words on cards, 4 cards say ‘eat a treat’. There were 4 cookies on the desk. Flip the cards, read the words, and when you get ‘eat a treat’, you do it! He loved this one (And yes he is STILL wearing his Halloween costume, he has worn it pretty much non-stop since Halloween).
Linking up with:
