Starting Tot School!

So the twins' are now starting to run and climb chairs/tables.  They also love music, action songs, read-alouds and a whole lot of writing.

This got me thinking that it is now the perfect time to add some learning-as-you-play-for-them, so I am now officially starting our Tot School!

It is not a usual structured real school.  It is simply playing and just incorporating a whole lot of play and a little structure on their usual play time.  We have been doing this anyway like... sorting out pasta/black beans, lots of action dance, phonics rhythm, finger painting, tissue roll letters and so much more.  Now, I am planning out our curriculum (activities that should last not more than 5 minutes per activity! Whew... more patience for me).

So, I am off to buy/collect some stuff like pom poms, pipe cleaners, bottle caps or just anything that is interesting for a 1 -2 year old.
