We made this game by gluing wipes lids to a cardstock. I placed stickers under each lid, and a feather under one random lid. When Stone opens each lid, we get to learn the name of the object on the sticker, and if he finds a feather he gets a tickle attack with that feather 😄
I’d like to share some of the activities and books that I found to be very useful for spending time with my toddler.

We accumulated so many toys, books and activities that I thought of a way to organize it in order for us to evenly interact with each one. I saw a similar idea about toy rotation, and thought it would be perfect for our needs. Toy rotation is also recommended by a Montessori method  to keep a child interested in the activities and not to be overwhelmed with choice. I tried to organize each bin to have a few books, a sorting activity and some developmental toys. Scarlett is excited each morning when we get a new bin out, and I get curious myself what’s in today’s box 🙂 So I thought I’ll share a look inside each bin. I’ll add them one by one as we go.

I was thinking about making a magnetic theater for a while but I couldn’t decide on the story. It seemed that some of the stories have too many characters, while others have too few. So I thought about nursery rhymes, and 5 little ducks seemed perfect. Scarlett loves ducks, and loves this nursery rhyme, and this one is also great for learning how to count and to do the actions in the song. Continue reading “Magnetic theater.

You can really create sorters from anything, but these ping pong balls are so colorful and bright, that I decided to use them for sorting. Cut out an opening in a container slightly larger than the size of a ping pong ball(it’s hard to see an opening in this picture since the lid is clear). A toddler’s task is to get a ball in the container using an ice cream scoop. Younger toddlers can use their hands instead of a scoop. Great for the development of hand-eye coordination.
