Izzy and I did a great fine motor activity together today. I rolled out some homemade Playdough for him and had him push pony beads into it. The pony beads were pretty small so simply handling those was good fine motor exercise for him. However, with the added challenge of pushing the beads into the dough, this activity could not have been better for those little fingers! He quite enjoyed the activity as well. For Sydneys activity, I taped old cereal boxes together to form a sort of cereal box road. Its a good thing this activity was free because she just wasnt feeling it at all! My idea was for her to crawl across the road pointing at things and us talking about what she was seeing. Her thought process was more along the lines of, "Is there any cereal in here? What? These boxes are empty? Well this is no good. Im out of here!" I did sort of salvage the activity by holding her on my lap and going through the boxes one by one that way, but it wasnt at all what I expected. The cool thing about this activity though is that it is double sided... once we had gone across the road once we flipped the boxes over and a whole new set of things to talk about!

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
