Tot Trays - "It's My Birthday!!"

Yay!!  It's birthday week for Sweet Girl!!  I can't believe she will be TWO YEARS OLD this week!  Happy early birthday to the sweetest and cutest girl I know!! 

Here's our birthday-themed tot trays for this week!!  I think Sweet Girl will love them all!!

Candle counting
I love this tray and I know Sweet Girl will too!!  I went ahead and did this tot tray so you could see it, but basically I will give her the play dough and candles and let her make her own cupcakes and put the right number of candles in.  She is doing such a great job with counting!! 


Cupcake matching
She loves this game and occasionally asks for it when we are playing.  I might try to throw in a simple memory game too!  Click here if you want to see how easy it is to make!!


Candle drop
Simple activity using candles and an empty gum dispenser


Ice cream patterning
I cut out these felt ice cream scoops and ice cream cones for a simple patterning activity.  I also plan on using it as a matching game too!


Open and close "presents"
For this one, I gathered a couple empty jewelry boxes and filled them with some of Sweet Girl's play jewelry.  You know the girl LOVES to accessorize!


Build a cupcake
I cut out the parts to "build" a simple cupcake.  The one on the left is already completed for her so she will have a something to copy.
