My baby has gotten to the age (17 months) were he wants hands on learning activities. So I give him so to keep him busy while I homeschool my 2 oldest boys. I can see already that he loves to learn, I pray that he will always be like this so that one day he is an easy homeschooler!
Here are a few activities I have given him that he really has loved.
Materials:
Large Vitamin bottle with a large opening
Large colorful pom poms
The concept is for him to place the pom poms in the bottle and then shake them out of the bottle. This teaches hand and eye coordination and dexterity.
Materials:
Empty Baby Wipe Box
Concept for him to open the wipe box lid, place the links in the wipe box and then close the lid when done. This also teaches hand and eye coordination and dexterity.
This is his favorite and can play with it for quite awhile.
Stay tuned for some more thrifty, homemade learning toys / games my baby loves!
