Do A Toy Rotation With Me 5
November 16, 2023
For some background introduction information on toy rotations see my first toy rotation blog at by clicking the link.
Last week’s toys and books:
The theme for this past week was Colors, Shapes, and Garden. We got a Kiwico box that we opened today, so I will be including the 3 toys that came with that kit in this toy rotation.
I will be rotating out the drawer drop box, the pullback car, the garden puzzle, the posting box, the shape blocks, and the related blocks. Aryi got so frustrated with the drop box drawer that I thought it needed to disappear. The rest of these toys seemed to be getting old to Aryi, so those also needed to go.
I will be keeping the pegboard, blockset, stacker, garden soft book, soft activity book, and shape puzzle out. I think Aryi needs some more time with all of these toys since he was so interested in each of these toys.
This week’s toys and books:
I did not really come up with a theme this week as I usually do since I kept out half of what was in rotation last week. I just decided to add in a few toys that made since to me to add in.
Books (Lovevery) – I have not brought these out in a while, so I thought it would be nice to put them back out again this week.
Flashcards (Lovevery) – I also thought these would be a good thing to pull out with the Lovevery books. Aryi loves these. They are textured and Aryi can name almost all of the pictures.
Doctor/Dentist Kits (Dollar Tree) – Aryi has a Doctor’s Well Visit next Monday. I thought it would be nice when I saw these kits for Aryi to get to play with some fake doctor equipment.
Dinosaur Puzzle (Carter’s gift) – I thought it would be good to put a puzzle out to replace the other one. I thought this one would be fun. I have never put this out, because I did not believe Aryi was ready for it.
Blockset (Lovevery) – I left this out because I felt like it did not have quite enough play last week.
Pegboard (Kiwico) – Aryi loved playing with this last week. We were working on matching the peg to the rings based on color. Aryi didn’t quite get the matching, but he loved putting the rings on the pegs. I thought it could be more fun this week.
Stacker (Lovevery) – This toy could also use more play as we continue to focus on our colors.
Garden Soft Book (Lovevery) – This book got zero use last week. That is why I am keeping it out. I know Aryi likes this book, so I leave this out so he has a chance to get it this week.
Soft Activity Book (Lovevery) – Like the other soft book, we did not really get to this one. Aryi was just enjoying the other toys so much.
Shape Puzzle (Kiwico) – Aryi is obsessed with these just as he always is when I bring it out.
Dinosaur stackers (Amazon gift) – I thought this was a good toy to bring out since I brought out the dinosaur puzzle. It reinforces the dino play, but the stacking is another skill for him to work on this week.
Library Books – I got a variety of library books about fall, colors, moms and dads. This randomness continues with the randomness of this week.
