March 11th, 2010 Toddler sorting Posted by Melitsa in Education, Homemade, Memes, play activities, Sites to visit

Everyday objects will always hold a fascination to the little ones. We don’t have a huge separation of objects as toys but do have ones some that belong to them and belong to us. Largely because we need the object at the same time so it is just easier. But mostly we share.

Yesterday you saw the LO sorting.

He is loving this pouring, dumping and putting back stage. To help him I placed in his cupboard two empty icecube trays. After banging on these for a bit I brought him a small baggy of sticky letters and shapes . His brothers were crafting with them around the corner. He merrily sat there for quite a while filling each hole. Dumping them all and filling each hole again. I stayed and  played with him for a minute naming colours as he dropped them in. Rearranging them into groups of colours. He dumped them when I did this so I got the message and stopped .

I do control the baggy after play otherwise that stuff would trail around the house.

………..Turning little moments into playful moments.
