TOT SCHOOL – Jumping Bean (34 months)
No need to spend lots of money to teach your child, I used regular board games we already had to increase his dexterity skills. Sometimes the resources & tools are right underneath our noses! Pull out your board games & let your child go to town!
Mini Chess travel game, I have Jumping Bean place the tiny pegs in the holes
Cubix Wooden Haba game that’s my husband’s – Jumping Bean placed the wooden beads on the rods
I had Jumping Bean place the matching color marbles onto the same color on the slots in the Aggravation game.
TINY TOT SCHOOL
Baby Cat (12 months)
We just got an annual pass at the zoo, they have fountains for the kids to play in – she LOVED it!
Playing with her “purse”
FAVORITE pics of my 2 little ones from the week
We had a behind the scenes tour at Sea World, we were in the polar bear education bldg. the tour guide was explaining that these buckets they place peanut butter in them for the polar bears – she showed us a before & after bucket. I look over at my toddler who decided to put the buket over his head – he had the whole group in laughter!
Baby & I (waiting in line at Sea World)
Baby Cat looking at the Sea World map – deciding where she wants to go next!
It looks like Shamu is swallowing her. Love the picture of her playing with the fountain.
And I agree games you own are such a great way to find things to practice. I really need to work on playing more games with the kids.
Cute! Looks like a fun week! We love Sea World!
How cool that your zoo has fountains to play in. I love all the games.
What a fun week 🙂 We use games a lot over here too!
Great idea using the games! I think my little one would love that – a little too much! Great week! =)
Happy Mother’s Day! You have an award on my page. http://www.jaysonsmom.com/2010/05/my-first-award.html
I love the fountains at our zoo. So much fun.
And great ideas, as usual. You’re so clever! =o)
What fun activities! Love the photo of her playing with her purse… so cute! Happy Mother’s Day!
What a great idea to use board games…I think I have a few that will work for dexterity. Thanks for the ideas and sharing. Looks like you had a great week!
What a great week! Love the purse and the bucket! What a great idea to use some games and things you already have! Sammy had a blast playing with the trouble game where you push down the bubble to “roll” the die.
We have a fountian like this near us. JDanie loves it.
