Miss Bell and I have been having a great week exploring everything Orange in October. I must admit tot school is just as much fun for me. I’m enjoying the whole process, from planning, setting up, and then watching her explore. It is so wonderful to watch her little mind and hands at work.
Here is a peek into our Orange week.
I love color treasure baskets. For this one you will find lots of orange goodies, for example color puzzle cards, Duck and Goose find a pumpkin,plan toys Orange juice bottle, wood blocks and of course pumpkins.
Placing the peg into the hole is great for developing her fine motor skills.

Orange water with orange glitter for sensory.
We worked on cleaning pumpkins with a sponge.
Inspired by Reggio Emilia, working with light and mirrors.
She truly enjoyed the book If Kisses were Colors.
You can also check out orange scented play dough here. It would be a great addition to this orange learning week.
You can find other toddler ideas on my Pinterest Board.
I totally love planning and setting up activities for toschoolers rather than elementary LOL. I can’t wait to try this out for my little Vito next year. Pinned!

Great idea to explore the different holidays by color! 🙂
This looks like so much fun! I’m going to try the mirror and light ideas with my 9 month old!
I love the fall! So many great things to explore!
What a cute set up! Love the pumpkin socks!
I love what you said at the beginning – ‘tot school is just as much fun for me’. That is 100% the way it should be – fun all around. 🙂
🙂 I totally agree. Thanks Jolanthe for visiting.
You have a beautiful little girl, it looks like you make learning so much fun.
Thank you, I try 🙂
I really love how you have incorporated a mirror with the orange treasure basket. I’ll be sure to use that one once my future baby is old enough.
