For this activity we talked about the concepts of hard and soft. I gathered some objects from around the house and had him sort through the objects and group them together based on wether they were hard or soft. This took a lot of help from me, but he still did pretty good and we managed to make it through this activity twice before he was on to bigger and better things.
Izzy's second opposites activity went a little bit better than his first... probably because it wasnt raining outside when we did it. It was still a little above his head though, but thats okay. I think a little challenge is good for him every once in a while. For this activity we talked about the concepts of hard and soft.

For Sydney we played with treasures in an egg carton. There is seriously something magical when it comes to babies and recycled egg cartons... both of my babies have absolutely loved playing with their egg cartons around a year old! For Sydney, I gathered a small object and put it in each opening in the egg carton. We had a variety of objects from fabric to ribbons to pompoms to hair bows. Her favorite object was a purple hair clip that she kept putting in and taking out of the carton which was exactly how I had hoped she would utilize this activity. She also had fun pretending to give me her treasures then snatching them away at the last second. Silly girl!

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
