Toddler Tuesday: Pasta and An Empty Water Bottle

October 19, 2010

I gave Aaliya a bowl of uncooked pasta, an empty water bot­tle, and me there to watch that she doesn’t swal­low any­thing and she con­cen­trated on this activ­ity for 30 min­utes straight. She loved putting all the pasta pieces into the bot­tle then clos­ing the lid and shak­ing it up to hear the musi­cal sound […]

Today Aaliya dec­o­rated a but­ter­fly col­or­ing page with dif­fer­ent col­ored round stick­ers. This was def­i­nitely a chal­lenge for her but the results were pretty. It is chal­leng­ing to get the stick­ers off the sheet they are on and just as chal­leng­ing to put them on to the col­or­ing page with­out them get­ting stuck to the […]

We did a few activ­i­ties today with empty water bot­tles. We could have done more if only I had more water bot­tles! I let Deen choose which col­ors he wanted to use today from my fun food col­or­ing stash. After we filled up some water bot­tles Deen added a drop or two of food coloring. […]

You can use an old mar­garine con­tainer, a yoghurt con­tainer, or any­thing that is sim­i­lar. Cut out some holes on the top that are the […]

It is impor­tant to mix up your art mate­ri­als for your kids because it takes the rep­e­ti­tion out of paint­ing. By pro­vid­ing them with dif­fer­ent materials(different types of paints, dif­fer­ent types of brushes, new tex­tures, new shapes and sizes of paper) you make each art activ­ity some­thing new and fun. Deen has always loved using Powder […]

At Aaliya’s play group we found this great laun­dry activ­ity and Aaliya was fully engrossed. All your child needs to do is to place both sides of vel­cro together to hang the “laun­dry” up. Sound easy? Not quite. It takes a lot of skills to make this work. Think about it. The child needs to aim each […]

This baby tape activ­ity is such a great activ­ity for babies and tod­dlers to increase their body aware­ness. I do this activ­ity with Aaliya some­times before bed­time when I can see that she still has a lit­tle bit more play time in her. It helps her set­tle down. All you need is some tape, prefer­ably one […]
