"I spy something yellow that you drink out of." - a cup
"I spy an animal with white spots." - a deer
"I spy something round that you put on the fridge." - a magnet
Yesterday Izzy and I played a fun game to work on his language skills. I gathered together 10 items from around the house and put them in a bin. Then I gave Izzy clues and had him guess which object I was talking about. Once he guessed correctly, we took the item out and he could hold it while guessing the next item. The clues were fairly simple and he did a really good job guessing. Here are a few of my clues to give you an example of what we did: "I spy something yellow that you drink out of." - a cup "I spy an animal with white spots." - a deer "I spy something round that you put on the fridge." - a magnet Before our activity we spent time reading one of Izzys favorite Usborne books at the moment called You Choose. We love reading this book to not only help with language skills but also to spark his imagination. It is a unique book that has a question at the top of the page with lots of pictures underneath for you to talk about and answer the prompt with. You can find out more about that book here. As you can see, Izzy loves reading this book! With Sydney we did a mess free sensory activity by making two discovery bottles. Discovery bottles are a great way to allow little ones to safely explore materials you might not want them playing with otherwise. We made two different bottles... one small and one large. We filled our smaller bottle halfway with water and colored it dark green then filled it the rest of the way with vegetable oil. For our larger bottle, we dyed some rice purple then added some sparkly confetti for fun. Sydney enjoyed rolling her bottles around, shaking them, and pretending to drink out of them. And of course checking out the materials inside.

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
