2-25-09 Today's Activities

I didn't picture the first activity, but Ryan thoroughly enjoyed it. I gave him a tray of popsicle sticks, tooth picks, straws and a water bottle. He spent around 45 minutes playing with these items - putting them in the bottle, dumping them, sorting them, etc. He really enjoyed it.

I got that idea and a ton others that we do from:
Tot School - I love that site! She has a lot of great ideas and I like the style.

The next activity (later that day) we/he painted the popsicle sticks to use for later. He really likes painting with brushes, but not so much with his fingers. Once again, he'll get there...





We also did a coloring/activity sheet out of one of our Elmo books. I don't like to do a lot of worksheet type stuff, but he really enjoys them, so I guess I'll just follow his lead on that one.

    Right now, just using them in his water bottle with the toothpicks and such. I'm sure we'll find a use for them - just seemed fun to paint them!

    I found another use - we are going to do more with popsicle sticks - more painting, more coloring, decorating with glue and objects, etc. and put them in a bag to put in the car or diaper bag. I pulled some out for him in a store the other day and he spent a good 30 minutes going back through them and looking at each one individually...I guess 'reminiscing' about painting them? Checking out the cool color patterns? IDK, either way - it was great fun for us both!
