what counts is best. ~ Bob Talbert

Let's Do Activities!

This past week we did "Activities". This is when I clear off the kitchen table and choose 4 activities to set up on the 4 sides of the table. The girls can choose a starting activity and then rotate around the table as they please. Sometimes they rotate to all 4 activities and sometimes they choose only 2 - and that's okay. This past week, I set up more playful activities and went with somewhat of a dinosaur theme.


Mini dinosaur land with rice. This gave lots of texture experience for my 2 year old especially when the water pond mixed with the rice fields.




Dinosaur tracer - self explanatory. I usually try to include at least one "pencil-paper" activity and this was it.




Animal Rock Land - This was the hit of the week. The girls played with this for 3 days before their attention span waned.




I usually don't include books because they don't get chosen during "activity" time. They didn't get chosen this time around either, but we did get to share one over snack later.

There you have it.
