Toddler Activities

There are a few go-to activities that keep H happy and occupied - reading books, playing the piano, reading books, chasing Leonard, and reading books...

We decided to try out a couple of new activities today

Activity 1: Bean sorting

Supplies: One interested child
A few different containers
Different kinds of dried beans
A cat looking over your shoulder

It took a little while for H to understand that these were not for eating. He REALLY wanted to eat them, so we took a break and had a little snack and then he really got into it! He poured, picked up, spread around, grabbed, examined,

and then tried to give them to Leonard:

He seemed to enjoy it, and this is something that we will be sure to come back to!

While H was sleeping, I made some play-dough.
(My hands are still stained with the food coloring!)

He liked to pull it slightly. He was much gentler than I thought he would be with it.

He kept looking up like he was thinking "is this okay?"

Look at the effort in his face!
