Ff Table Top Toys

This past weeks table top toys went perfectly with the letter Ff. As you can see, the items that I add to my "table top toy" bins are not always used at the little table, sometimes we bring them to the floor or to the big table. I really should come up with a better name for them, I could always go with activity tray (except they are not on a tray, more like in a bin, activity bins) or workboxes (except I don't change them out everyday like most people, more like every 3 days). I guess what we call it now is best since most of the time it's at the table.

Here Lyssy is doing Farm animal patterns with pattern cards, she also made patterns without the cards (which I like doing better).

Here Aidman is counting with farm animals. This activity can be done with anything, we used farm animals because we had them. I printed out these number cards and they placed the correct number of items on it.


We did more counting with Ff numbers. We placed the correct amount of marbles on each number 4, 5, 14, 15.

We also did flower lacing. I took silk flowers and separated them from the stems. They laced the flowers and some beads onto pipecleaners. They made tons of bracelets with them!
Not pictured:
-I printed out farm and forest animal cards and let the kids color them and then play memory and matching with them.
-Farm Puzzles, we have one large floor farm puzzle and several normal size puzzles that they did.
I just now thought of and Wish I would have done:
Funnels! It would have been great pouring fun to use the funnels at our table top toys. Now that I have the idea I MUST use it in the next few weeks!
