This year is the year for George.
Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself.
He’s 16 months right now.
So he still can’t do a lot of the activities that Henry and I get into.
We have a lot of time to ourselves, just the two of us.
Some nice Mommy and Me time.
But we rarely set out to do something.
We just play.
I want to start getting him involved.
Be hands on with him.
I found a few activities from last week’s It’s Playtime to get me started.
(I also have a few bookmarked on my Toddler Activities Board on Pinterest for more inspiration.)
(Dirt and Boogers: Jars and Small Objects)
This is a no brainer!
I thought DUH! When I saw this post from Dirt and Boogers!
George had a hay day with our baby food jars just screwing the lids on and off!
The fun pom poms and marbles would add a great twist to that!
(He loves his pom poms!)
(Above, from left to right:)
- What toddler doesn’t constantly get in the bathroom and unroll the toilet paper? Play Create Explore makes it a fun afternoon with a roll of toilet paper.
- George would get a kick out of watching anything roll through a tube! Big D and Me made it huge though! Take a look at their fun with tubes!
- Enjoying the Journey made a very simple edible finger paint with sweetened condensed milk and food coloring! Easy Peasy! And no worries of George putting it in his mouth!
- A little bit more fine motor practice from Bounceback Parenting… insert the toothpick fine motor activity! (I knew you didn’t get enough of them yesterday with the 30 fine motor activities!)
