03-31-09 Bamboo Skewers and Foam Block

(posted 8-19-09) This is a favorite. He still likes it when I pull this one out (or variations of it). Original idea from Tot School Tray Times in the Small Spaces section.



Before the foam fun, Ryan had fun "sorting" his giant McQueen coloring pages. Cassada seemed to have fun with it also - he would wave them over her head in a game of Ryan/Cassada peek-a-boo. Not sure what skills to put down for this one, but he sure did seem to work on a few of them (balance, coordination, fine motor by separating the pages, logical thinking for placement, etc. etc. etc.) - I love it when "tray times" just sort of happen with no planning! Especially when it's the two year old that comes up with them.
