Lil’man is 20 months
I am still new to Tot School. I always forget to pull out my camera. I was able to remember one day for a few activities. Since we are new, this week we just pulled out things that we already had at home and things we had that we’ve never played with before. I tried to incorporate new ways of using things to spark lil’man’s interest.
I found this idea from one of the Tot School participants, but I don’t remember who. (Sorry! I looked at so many websites to get ideas.) As you can see, we worked on putting cotton balls into an old baby wipe container. Lil’man didn’t care for this activity much because he couldn’t get the lid open to get the cotton balls out. He may become more interested as we bring it out more.
We also played with puzzles. Lil’man still struggles with getting these particular shapes to fit into their slots. He is really good at matching them. I found some great file folder games at File Folder Fun that would probably be less frustrating for him because he won’t have to try to line it up just right. I might try that next week.

Welcome to Tot School! Lil’man is cute!
Looks like a good week of Tot School! My little one is 21 months tomorrow and we are pretty new to Tot School, also. We did the same thing with the wipe container (except with pom poms instead of cotton balls) and she brings it out every couple of weeks to play with it. Looking forward to seeing future Tot School posts!
Your son reminds me of mine when he was that age (very cute!). I love the cotton ball activity, I may try that with mine. Thanks for sharing!
I love that puzzle! That would make a fun one to add to our collection!
Welcome to tot school! I love the cotton ball idea.
