Once Upon A Book ~ Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots?

Do Princesses wear Hiking Boots? Carmela LaVigna Coyle

Summary: This cute book portrays a young lady asking her mom questions about what it means to be a princess. It’s a rhyming book full of whimsical questions and answers, concluding with the question and answer “Do princesses look at all like me?” and the mom responds “Look inside yourself and see…”

Bible Verse: “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:14

Outside Activity: Put on some hiking boots and take a hike!

Numerical Order Puzzle: This is a fun new addition that I included in my K4 Curriculum! Simply cut out the strips along the line, then place in numerical order to complete the puzzle!

Roll A Princess: This is a fun game that helps with number recognition as well as counting. Use with either dotted or numbered die. Roll the die, and place the corresponding puzzle piece in place to complete the puzzle!

Snack Time: Have a formal Tea Party! Make sure attendees dress up in their finest, then serve mini-cucumber and cottage cheese sandwiches along with other fun finger foods! Serve pretend tea, or warm tea, or even hot chocolate if tea isn’t your cup ;o)

What’s in the Tub ~ Princesses and Knights

sensory tubs

Next month our theme at Totally Tots is Princesses and Knights.  Here are some ideas for you to use in a sensory tub with your little one to explore the theme up close and personal.

What’s in the Tub?: 

IMG_5188

I used the glass gems to make a moat around the castle and the craft sticks as a draw bridge.

The small ceramic crown held our glass gems and small treasures.

So, what fun things did we do with the tub? 

  • Dug for the princesses lost treasure (buttons)
  • Counted how many glass gems it took to make our moat 
  • Defended the princess from the bad Knight and made up lots of fun stories

What’s in the Tub? is a feature that focuses on fun sensory tub ideas to go along with the monthly theme at Totally Tots.   Click here to see past sensory tub ideas.
