Today for our activity, Izzy and I spent 20 minutes reading books and singing songs to go along with them. The setup went like this... Beforehand I went through his collection of books and picked out about a dozen or so that I could think of a matching song for. For example, we read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and then sang the ABC Song. At first I tried reading him the book and then having him 'move to the music' so to speak, but I found he didn't like that much. Instead, it was easier to just read through the book and then let him flip back through the pages while I sung the accompanying song to him. And he sat through 11 out of the 12 books I had picked out. Not too shabby. The only unfortunate thing about this activity is that I was holding him the whole time so I wasn't able to take any pictures to share.

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
