 Sweet Pea is 24 months old.
From: I think I have seen this in several places, but the most recent was an article at wonderbrains.com. That article even described how you could dye the pasta first, but we didn’t mess with that this time. Materials: A […] From: My mother suggested this activity. Procedure: We bought plastic sandbox tools from Babies R Us for $1 each and a marigold plant from the local grocery store. My mom had a couple of terra cotta pots and a small watering can. We gave Sweet Pea one of the pots and showed her how […]  
From: I got the idea for this type of art work from Carissa’s tot school post at 1+1+1=1 and I bought the Do-A-Dot Rainbow Painting Set from Micheal’s Craft Store. Procedure: There isn’t a whole lot to explain. I just put a piece of paper in front of Sweet Pea, unscrewed the cap on […] I bought a pair of plastic tongs for under $1 at a Party America and put them on a tray with 1 basket of counting bears and another empty basket. Still enamored with the teddy bears, Sweet Pea was ready to bring this tray to her table as soon as she saw it. […]  Sweet Pea is 23 months old. A few weeks ago I wandered into The Supply Closet (a teacher supply store) and found some counting bears that I had read about on 1+1+1=1 . The bears I bought were actually a little different and more expensive than the ones Carissa recommended because there are more […] Sweet Pea is 23 months old. We got this Little Tikes Tap A Tune Play Piano from Great Aunt Jackie for Sweet Pea’s first birthday and it had been out of circulation for a while. I try to rotate out Sweet Pea’s toys so they stay fresh and interesting. I left it out on […]
I used to love “Paint with Water” books so when Sweet Pea’s Great Aunt Jackie brought one over for her, I think I was as excited as Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea spent a lot of time looking through the pictures of Spot’s Busy Day, even before I […] Sweet Pea had a great time with these scent bottles. I have forgotten where I originally saw this idea, but when I went searching for it again, I found a good description at MontessoriMom. Essentially (E-scent-ially, hah!), you make up bottles that contain different smells. There are two of each scent and your tot […]  1+1+1=1’s Pacman had fun with a Where’s George $1 sticker set from Target so when I saw the same set, I thought we would give it a try. Sweet Pea liked looking at the stickers and seemed excited by the book, but the stickers were so tiny she couldn’t really work with them. I […] 
I found this idea at Aday Family Memories, but used pom-poms instead of pasta as another reader suggested. Sweet Pea really had to concentrate to get the puffs into the bottle. She was very intent on getting every last one of them into the bottle and then loved shaking them back out again. We […] |
