Even though Izzy has great fine motor skills, we are still working to strengthen his fingers to get him ready for writing. Our activity the other day focused on just that! For our activity, I got some foam blocks used for crafts from Walmart and had Izzy stick golf tees in them. The pushing motion really worked those fingers of his and he loved doing it. At first, he tried splitting the golf tees equally between the three blocks, but then he decided to just focus on just one block and see how many tees he could fit in there. He thought it was especially fun when I showed him how to put golf tees in the sides rather than just in the top. And I personally think his creations turned out looking really cool and funky. For baby girls activity we did a fun sensory activity with edible finger paint made from just 2 ingredients... yogurt and food coloring. I mixed up three different colors for her, told her what each of them were, and let her have it. She didnt mind getting messy at all and loved eating the yogurt, squishing it through her cute little fingers, and smearing it all over her high chair tray. Clean up wasnt too bad and a quick shower fixed her right up!

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
