When I was setting up this activity, I didn't have much hope. I mean our track record with activities where he is supposed to put one object into another object is not very good so I didn't think this activity would be much different, but it was. For the setup of this activity, all you need is an empty tissue box and some balls just small enough to fit through the opening in the top. I also got a second container to put the balls in when they weren't in the tissue box so my setup looked like this: After a quick demonstration to show Izzy that the balls could go in the tissue box, he set to work and he actually transferred all the balls from the bowl into the box. I was so proud! He spent about 10 minutes transferring the balls between the two containers and seeing the differences between the two containers. We practiced learning the different colors of the balls as well as counting them. Even though the activity didn't keep him entertained for too long I was a super proud mama that he actually grasped the concept and seemed to be having fun with it. Cost: $1.50 for the tissue box

AuthorHi! My name is Cassity and I am the mom to a little 2 year old boy named Izzy and a baby girl named Sydney. I am lucky enough to get to be a stay-at-home mom to them and we have fun thinking of new activities to do together in the afternoons. We created this blog as an opportunity to share those activities with you. Archives
