Today's activity was one that we tried to do before when Izzy was 10 months old and back then he liked it but this time when we did it he loved it! Its post-it squares! The idea behind this activity is to put a bunch of sticky notes on a surface and let your little one pull them down. We used our sliding glass door as our surface and our setup looked something like this... Before I let Izzy have at it we talked about the different colors of squares and counted how many squares there were of each color. Then as the activity went on I would say things like, "That's a blue square. Are you going to pull the blue square down?" to reinforce the colors. We would also periodically count the remaining squares to review the counting aspect of the activity. Because we used a window as our background our pictures didn't turn out too well but I thought these were worth sharing... As a warning, if you have a baby who puts everything in their mouths some paper probably will get eaten. The first time we did this activity I made him give me the squares after he had pulled them down to reduce paper consumption. This time I just let him have at it and paper consumption was minimal. This activity was definitely a hit and he even wanted his Hello Kitty figurine to get in on the action with him... Cost: $3 for post-it notes

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
