Tot School {16 1/2 months}

This post is a little late, but, nonetheless, here it is.  Luke and I kept busy last week doing this...

Rainbow Box

Rating: 5/5

Skills:
Sensory development
Fine motor development

Activity:
I used an old Amazon box (we have lots of those around here) and punched some holes through it in several places.  Luke and I took turns pulling the pipe cleaners out and pushing them back in.

Exploring Machines
***Luke's favorite of the week

Rating: 5/5

Skills:
Gross motor development
Life skills

Activity:
We had some guys working on some drain pipes in a 'big digger' down the road and Grandma Diane picked Luke and I up to go take a look.  Needless to say, Luke LOVED it.  Anything that is big, moves, and has wheels, is Luke's cup of tea. 

Clothespins in a Milk Container

Rating: 2/5

Skills:
Fine motor development
Counting

Activity:
I put five clothespins in a milk container that I cut a hole out of the front. Luke took out the clothespins and I dropped them in the top.  I am trying to get him to drop them in the top, but he more enjoys pulling them out of the bottom.

Poms through a Tube

Rating: 5/5

Skills:
Fine motor development
Colors

Activity:
A bunch of poms and a toilet paper tube is all Luke needs to have a good time. He loves this activity and seems to never grow tired of it.  This time using the poms he mainly passed the poms from one container to another, instead of putting them down the tube.  

Cup Stacking

Rating: 5/5

Skills:
Fine motor development
Sensory development

Activity:
I have lots of cups left over from Luke's first birthday and decided to see what he would do with them.  I started by stacking, and, what do you know, he knocked them down.  Luke loves to knock towers over.
