Sometimes as a mother I think to myself, "If anyone else knew what I was letting Izzy play with, they would probably think I was the worst mother ever!" With today's activity, I definitely had one of those moments. I mean, what mother lets her child play with a bunch of small letters with small magnets on the back? Well apparently I do! And since no one got seriously injured in the making of this blog post (because close close supervision was definitely involved), we are going to go ahead and post about it. So for today's activity we played with ABC magnets. To set up the activity I just simply put all of our magnets on the fridge as follows... Before we got to actually playing with the magnets, we read some books we had about letters. We read Dr. Seuss's ABC and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Then after we read, I made him sit still while I sang him the ABC song and pointed at the letters. Finally, I turned him loose on the magnets and he had fun pulling them down and trying to eat them. Luckily, the letters themselves are too big to fit in his mouth and I just periodically checked the magnets on the back to make sure they weren't coming loose. An added bonus to this activity that I didn't think of when setting it up was that my magnets were colorful so in addition to working on letter recognition we were also able to work on colors. Cost: $1 for magnets

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
