Hannah transferring with a strainer

I was so proud of Hannah this morning! While I was doing Mommy School with Caden Hannah was transferring pom poms from one container to the next with a strainer.

Bead Sorting

This is the way Hannha was bead sorting! lol

Caden did great but he was only interested in doing it 1 time. He said "Clean up" after he was done sorting. lol

Sensory Tub

Caden is currently 30 months

Not much has gone on this week with Tot School, but we are looking forward to a new week and will be discussing Bubbles!

Thank you so much Tara for sharing the ideas about the Sensory Tubs. I have the same issues as I am sure every Mom has when we are cooking dinner...the kids all of the sudden don't want to play with their toys...you don't want to resort to turning on the TV and they want to be in the kitchen and tend to be very fussy. So today I tried making a Sensory Tub with my son Caden. He practiced cutting and by the way he loved cutting straws. Then when it was time for dinner I put the wagon of straws out with measuring cups and a muffin pan so they could transfer the straws from one thing to the next. Ya, they were occupied for at least 30 minutes for me to put dinner in the oven. It was kind of a mess to clean up but I didn't care, as long as I could get dinner ready. Next time I may put something underneath them when they play for an easier clean up. Thanks again Tara

I got an empty season shaker and then I cute up straws. Hannah loved sticking the straws through the holes. Kept her entertained. I also used pipe cleaners.

Bottle Activities with Hannah

I got this bottle idea from this great site...Little Hands, Big Work.

Hannah loves it. This time I used other objects for her to put in the bottle. Popsicle sticks, dominoes and pom-poms.

Popsicle Stick Bottle and Pom-Pom Bottle

I don't have a picture of Hannah putting the popsicle sticks in the water bottle but she loved this activity. Little Hands, Big Work used paper clips but I used popsicle sticks because I did not want Hannah to stick them in her mouth.

Hannah also enjoyed putting pom-poms in an bottle.

I got these ideas from Little Hands, Big Work. Caden was not interested in the new activities for long but Hannah enjoyed both of them.
