It's a beautiful day out. So we took this opportunity to do some learning outside and reward ourselves with a special educational treat once we came back in.
Toddler -
Lesson: ABC's
Theme: Animals (where they live / sounds they make)
Language / Recognizing (listening & responding)
ABC's (flash cards) - start w/ A-G, recite that part of the song as you point to the letters, then ask, "touch A, touch G…"
Gross Motor (coordination, big movements)
Build a Zoo - Do this using toys/stuffed animals from around the house
Fine Motor (small movements typically w/hands)
Fishing for ABC's and/or Animals - The perfect time for some outdoor play. We did this with their water table. But you could also use a large plastic container filled with water. Throw the ABC or animals in, and ask them to show you or bring you certain ones.
ABC Cookies - that's right, we are forming the dough into the ABC's! (Of course this is something Caedyn's older sister helped him with while he said the letters)

Animal sounds book
Sing & dance to the ABC's
