Mommy School is Back!

 Mommy School is baaaaaack! 
  All of your kindness and gratitude inspired me to get our Mommy School toddler program back on track.

I have literally been working on this packet all week long, even though it is slimmer than previous packets.  I have decided to make things as simple and as sweet as possible.

My packets are unique for one main reason:
Especially for toddlers, I believe in doing as many hands-on activities as possible!  I tend to steer away from pencil/paper activities.  So the beauty of this packet is all of the ideas.  You can take these ideas and make them work for you! There are a few paper/pencil activities, but I mainly focus on ideas with the necessary visual aids. 

Here are some of the concepts covered in this 2-week unit:
* Letter of the week:  G
* Number of the week:  5
* Color of the week:  Green
*Theme of the week:  Green/St. Patrick's Day
* Song of the week:  Five Fat Peas

I do have to enforce a few guidelines to protect myself when sharing my ideas.  So please read before downloading.
* This packet is in PDF format.  Please be sure that you have the most updated version of Adobe Reader in order to open the file.  I am not a computer expert, and I really can't help you with downloading issues.
* PLEASE do not take advantage of my willingness to share.  I will not customize this packet using different fonts, colors or personalized formats. 
*This packet is for personal use only!  You may use this for your own preschool class or in your own home.  You may never sell any part of this packet.
* There is a wealth of ideas on the web, and I compiled lots of fun ideas combined with my own.  Check the credits section for more great blogs and sites!

 You can download your own "G is for Green" packet here.

  2. I can't remember how I found your blog, but I'm so glad I did! I have a three year old son who is having a very difficult time adjusting to the birth of his baby brother. I know he needs extra attention right now, so I've started planning special activities for us to do together each day. My time is so limited right now with two kiddos, so this packet is such a blessing. You've done all of the work for me! :-) Amazing! Thank you!!

  22. Thanks so much! My little ones will LOVE this! I probably won't use the letter G, I think I'll be using the letter L for Leprechaun and Lucky. I think I'll be using the letter G for Green, and Grow and Garden in the coming weeks. But thanks for the ideas! my little Leprechauns will sure enjoy doing these activites!

  25. It's really cool that you share such valuable stuff. I have a baby on the way so won't need it for a while but I'm sure I will appreciate people like you who are so generous in the future.

  27. What I love about this packet is that there are plenty of things in there that my 3 1/2 yr old and my just turned 2 yr old can do together. I have a hard time finding things that are on both of their level at the same time. Thank you so much!
