Tiny Tot School

{Ivan is 12 months old}

Now that Ivan is officially 1, I am starting to do some more structured play with him (so fun!) Here are a few things we did this week..

I put all of our animal magnets from our M&D Puzzle Book into a plastic container and let him loose on the dishwasher. He loved putting them on and taking them off. I would name the animal as he picked them up and sometimes he would try and repeat it!

This simple activity is great for fine motor and cause and effect. An empty juice container and some fuzzy pom-pom’s.

Now that is concentration! ; )

He dutifully placed each and every one of the pom-pom’s into the container, and then wondered how the heck he could get them out!

I showed him how to dump them out and he started placing them right back in!

He still loves to work on getting the coins into our Piggy Bank (this was a gift, but my Grandma bought it at Kohls for 1/2 the price that Amazon has it listed at, wow!)

…and when he does, he is so proud!
