R-man is 14.5 months old
Pardon the wetness...I promise I change his shirt about hundred times a day and he normally has a bib on...just not this time! We are working on two molars and it causes for A LOT of DROOL!
making music with measuring spoons....after he learned how to 'scoop'!
this is a great activity because I applied what he learned here to lunch time where he was able to scoop his own applesauce...so we are currently eating all things that go in a bowl (soup, stew, yogurt, applesauce, ect) by our self!! yea!! we're still working on the fork...
This was after he had found all the 'little people' during our 'hide and suprise' game!
He loved the texture of the oatmeal, getting his hands all messy in it- watching it slip through his fingers, ect...we he found his duck hidden at the bottom, he was so excited to see it...i just wish he had called out 'DUCK'....oh well, that word will come in time!
*pictures were an afterthought*
Sticker Fun! I'd peel a sticker off just a bit and let him pull it the
rest of the way off and place on the paper. he loves stickers!
i am still finding a few around the house, but he did pretty well putting them on the paper...
i had to help push them down to make sure they stuck- but he got the idea.
(Transferring) Tootpicks into small containers...
This too so much focus, but he did all of them!
Next up is to have him put them in a small container with the little holes!
(great for more exposure to colors if you use colored toothpicks!)
Blue Day! Reid loves Blue...and yellow!
Playdoh fun!
He used blue cups and an old baby food tray to put little torn off pieces into...
and spoons to manipulate the 'doh'. He did this for a god while. I was there
encouraging him and talking about every little thing to reinforce the purpose of the activity.
no pictures...but we also did the following:
*putting pennies and dimes into a piggy bank
*coloring with crayongs
*coloring with chalk
*using mr. octopus to learn about colors
*dance partAY!
So cute! Do you have someone helping you come up with these ideas?? These are all things I learned to do (during my teacher cert.) for young children - way to go!
