If you are one of our subscribers, we’d love for you to stay subscribed so you don’t miss anything if we post! We have a few ideas between us and are just seeking God’s will for our future here. It is our prayer that by taking a time of rest from regular posting and managing a writing team, we will be able to do this. </p> <p><font size="4">We DO hope to be back! </font></p> <p>During our time off from posting, we will be making design changes, so if you pop in and things look different, that’s why! </p> <p> <hr /></p> <p> </p> <p>A huge<font size="4"> thank you</font> to all of the moms <font size="1">{with a link for those who still actively have a blog/site we can share}</font> who have contributed as a regular writer at some point during the time Totally Tots has been online.

Made.jpg" /></a> During the month of December, most tots are fascinated with the presents that start appearing under the Christmas tree. Little ones find the mystery packages almost too much to resist, but with this activity, they don't have to be off limits. <br /> <div style="text-align: center; clear: both" class="separator"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H8sLwjglMz4/UM6TzyVgWgI/AAAAAAAAB54/1rMWdVwoBHE/s1600/Minie+tree+and+presents.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H8sLwjglMz4/UM6TzyVgWgI/AAAAAAAAB54/1rMWdVwoBHE/s320/Minie+tree+and+presents.JPG" width="223" height="320" /></a></div> <b>Materials:</b> <br /> <ul> <li>Miniature Christmas Tree (ours is less than a foot high and was purchased for a $1) </li> <li>Miniature Christmas Presents or small jewelry boxes (The mini presents are ornaments with the string cut off) </li> <li>White Board & Marker or Number Cards (optional) </li> </ul> <b>Directions:</b> <br /> <br />Play a fun counting game with your tot. Depending on your tot's skill level, you could place gifts under the tree for them to count. Then, they could write the number on the white board. Or, have your tot pull a number card and place the correct number of mini presents under the tree. <br /> <div style="text-align: center; clear: both" class="separator"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TqQFj2ZK1lI/UM6Tyokg6GI/AAAAAAAAB5o/iIf4-oh9IMI/s1600/Christmas+Counting.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TqQFj2ZK1lI/UM6Tyokg6GI/AAAAAAAAB5o/iIf4-oh9IMI/s320/Christmas+Counting.JPG" width="320" height="213" /></a></div> At our house, we are focusing on simple addition, so we practiced with our presents. My little guy had fun choosing who would get the presents in our number stories. <br /> <div style="text-align: center; clear: both" class="separator"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-itNYTSBeMKQ/UM6TzGb2wHI/AAAAAAAAB5w/n56QLerUPLE/s1600/Christmas+addition.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0"

presents by color or make a simple pattern. <br /> <br />Hopefully this will give your tot a chance to play with presents, without unwrapping the real ones under your tree! <br /> <br />Merry Christmas! <br /><a href="http://happybrownhouse.com/" target="_blank"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px"

<span style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">I kept this bin simple and my daughter LOVED it! <i>(She's 37 months.)</i> </span><u style="line-height: 21px;">Much</u><span style="line-height: 21px;"> more than I expected. I threw in a bag of corn and seeds, <i>(from the pet store - Goose and Duck blend)</i> a few 25 cent gords and pumpkins from Walmart, a wooden Thanksgiving necklace, a package of plastic acorns and foam turkeys <i>(all from Michaels)</i>. The cornucopia is like a funnel because there was hole in the end: perfect for toddler play! <i>(Not pictured here: I also threw in a few of our Counting Bear cups for scooping a dumping as well.)</i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">Granted, the seeds did not stay in the bin, but the amount of quiet AND focused time and attention she gave this bin made it was totally worth it! Scooping, dumping, pouring, counting and sorting are simple skills she mastered months ago that I'm so glad I thought to bring them back for this busy month of the year. </span></span><br />

This is a great example of how these bins don't need to be expensive, elaborate, complicated or time consuming to put together. <i>(As always, with choking hazards and small pieces like this supervise your child's play 100% of the time)</i><br />

played "Feed the Monster". The game is really simple and can be adapted to different learning levels for your tot. <br /> <br />To start, I used an empty tissue box to create a monster. I cut and glued features to the tissue box, using the opening for a mouth. Your tot could even help make this one day for a craft and then play the game the next day. Once the glue had dried, we gathered our <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JWOKF8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002JWOKF8&linkCode=as2&tag=happy04-20" target="_blank">letter magnets</a> to start our game. <br /> <br />In my best "monster voice", I asked for certain letters. For example, I said, "I'm hungry for a letter that is at the beginning of the word COOKIE." My son found the C and "fed the monster". Then we repeated it until the monster was full. Sometimes I varied the monster requests to keep my little guy thinking. <br /> <div style="text-align: center; clear: both" class="separator"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oa5pIy1s_YU/UIh1ilExdBI/AAAAAAAAB4g/wup6JTSC4A4/s1600/Letter+Monster.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oa5pIy1s_YU/UIh1ilExdBI/AAAAAAAAB4g/wup6JTSC4A4/s320/Letter+Monster.JPG" width="320" height="213" /></a></div> <br />The best part of "Feed the Monster" is that you can tailor it to your child's target learning skills.

Multiple eyes, horns, crazy teeth...he thought they were all so fun. We decided to see if we could make our own silly monsters and we ended up with some of my favorite art he's ever produced. <br /> <br />Materials: <br /> <ul> <li>Paper </li> <li>Paint </li> <li>Scissors </li> <li>Glue </li> <li>Collage Materials (We used our <a href="http://totallytots.blogspot.com/2012/02/simply-made-collage-box.html" target="_blank">Collage Box</a>.) </li> </ul>   Before you can decorate your monster, you need to make some "Splat Art". Place a few drops of paint in the middle of your paper. (Not too much! Trust me, a little goes a long way!) <br /> <div style="text-align: center; clear: both" class="separator"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BUIaS7QOReM/UGzHe5gJSDI/AAAAAAAABz8/lQPd2VWS9s8/s1600/paint.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BUIaS7QOReM/UGzHe5gJSDI/AAAAAAAABz8/lQPd2VWS9s8/s320/paint.JPG" width="270" height="320" /></a></div> Fold your paper in half and press the paint around. It works best if you push the paint toward the edge of the paper (opposite of the fold), instead of up and down the fold.</div> <div style="text-align: center; clear: both" class="separator"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5MKe8tEDOKg/UGzHYgVpmVI/AAAAAAAABzc/HBqeNj_T5nE/s1600/fold+and+press.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5MKe8tEDOKg/UGzHYgVpmVI/AAAAAAAABzc/HBqeNj_T5nE/s320/fold+and+press.JPG" width="320" height="310" /></a></div> Peel it open and be surprised at your blob shape. <br /> <div style="text-align: center; clear: both" class="separator"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S3eDM6BTuoQ/UGzHeNe1JHI/AAAAAAAABz0/jOr7ggUPf1M/s1600/open.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S3eDM6BTuoQ/UGzHeNe1JHI/AAAAAAAABz0/jOr7ggUPf1M/s320/open.JPG" width="320" height="214" /></a></div> Repeat.
