We've had a busy past couple weeks! I didn't realize how much time had gone by since I last posted! Here are a couple new ideas for you and your littles this week!
Ring Toss:
Rowin got these jumbo fuzzy pipe cleaners for his birthday, so we decided to put them to use with this ring toss game. You could do the same thing with smaller pipe cleaners or use similar shaped objects.
We stuck several of the jumbo pipe cleaners under the cushions on the couch so that they stuck out about four inches. We shaped the rest of the pipe cleaners into rings and then Rowin stood back and tried to toss the rings onto the pipe cleaners. He thought it was quite a thrill! ;)
Egg Carton Sorting:
If you've been following my blog, you've noticed that I have my son do a lot of sorting, whether it's by color, shape, size, etc. This is a perfect developmentally appropriate skill for 2-4 year olds to work on. I just try to change the objects and format so that it seems like a whole new game to him every time.
Still in love with his puff balls, we went with those this time. I cut the top off of an egg carton and gave him several different colored puff balls to sort by color in each section of the carton. He would sort them, jump up and down a few times-proud of his success, then dump them all out and start over again.
If you don't have puff balls, try using multi-colored paper clips, candy (like Skittles, M&M's, or candy hearts), or marbles.
Great ideas, keep em' coming. My boy turned 2 in November and we've already had success with most of your ideas. Thanks!
