So not all weeks go as planned and this was one of them. Due to nap schedules not working out we only have one more activity to share with you this week instead of two and it was kind of an activity fail at that. For our activity we played with pipe cleaners (with the ends folded over so they wouldn't be pokey) and an empty puffs container. The idea was very similar to our Colander and Straws activity in that he was supposed to put the pipe cleaners into the puffs jar. I also used different colors of pipe cleaners and sorted them into piles of 5 so we could work on colors and counting. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of our set up, but I did get these gems. Izzy didn't get the concept of putting the pipe cleaners in the jar and he wasn't too interested in them anyway. The thing he did enjoy about the activity was the empty container. He carried it around and chewed on it for about 15 minutes so I guess it wasn't a complete fail.

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
