Tot School: Bubbles, golf, Hardware store!
Jul. 21, 2008 • 8:22 PM
This past week we had Vacation Bible School (VBS) at our church. I am the craft leader along with one other leader. So... I was quite busy. We do not use pre-bought kit crafts. We come up with our own things and try to make them good take-home useable items! We open it for Free to ages 3 to 14. "Peanut" was part of VBS. "Precious" was my little shadow helper! 
Each night they did a craft and played outside. Peanut also learn a verse each night and listened to the lessons on Jonah's Journey with his age group (and group leaders).
Besdies VBS, we did a few things for Tot School...
We had some outside fun one day with Bubbles!
"Precious" caught one on her arm!
Then we played a round of golf:
"Precious" took a turn too. No one won.. except the heat. We stopped and headed inside. It was just TOO HOT outside. I think they will really enjoy this activitiy though another day when it is less humid.
Another Day, "Precious" joined in the Fun while I was painting my oldest daughter's nails. She got her toenails painted too. She was so cute!
I guess this activity wasn't TOO educational but we did review the color PINK! Also it is a good life skill for a young lady!
It was a fun mother/daughters time!
She likes her pink toenails. She was so cute showing the ladies at VBS!
Another day, we had to go to a hardware store with daddy. We found ourselves waiting while daddy was looking for and finding exactly what he needed in one part of the store.
While we were waiting we saw this display:
Since we are potty training, this was pretty appropriate and we COUNTED the potties!
One, Two, Three Potty- Four Five Six Potty! - My counting Cutie!
Then we moved onto COLORS:
We gathered the Free sample paint cards in all the rainbow colors plus pink, brown, gray, white, and black. We reviewed them until dad was ready. I hope to use them to make a simple colors book for them! What a great FREE colors lesson. They had FUN when usually these trips are pretty boring and/or exhausting! Peanut even got to ride with a COOL tube in the back of the cart.
Then on the way home we watched one of these movies I got at the Dollar Store. They are great for each a buck!
We watched the Counting one!
Great day of Tot School while Out & About!
That was our week for the most part.

How lovely! Quite an educational trip.....by far the best trip to the hardware store I've heard of. Good for you making it fun.......I love the idea of using all those paint colors for reviewing colors......I'll have to remember that one.
My kids are also having VBS this week, and possibly next week as well......
I look forward to keeping up with your blog now that I'm getting back to my routine after my computer sabatical.
Bless you!
