🌟Sensory Board Time!➡️➡️➡️ Working on a Few Sensory Boards! 🎉🎉🎉 * 🌟Details coming soon! 🌟Happy Friday! 😁. * #toddler#toddlemom#toddlerfun#toddlerlife#toddlerlearning#toddleractivitiesathome#toddleractivities#toddlerdevelopmentalgames#sensoryboards#developmentalsensoryplay#makinglearningfun#makinglearningsimple (at Toronto, Ontario)

🤹‍♂️Colour Ball Sorting🤹‍♂️ * ✨This is a very popular activity, but, I didn't start doing it with Jacob until a few days ago. Now have realized why it's so popular! It's such an easy activity for kids, fun and simple, but, really keeps little ones entertained! 🙌 🌟Best of all, is such a great activity to help young children develop hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and colour recognition. 🌟I used matching colour stickers to indicate where each colour ball goes. Even if your little one is not matching colours yet, they're still working on other important developmental skills. * #toddlerdevelopmentalgames#craftymommy#makinglearningfun#makinglearningsimple#makinglearningfun#makinglearningeasy#toddler#toddlemom#toddlemom#parentinglife#toddlerlearningcolours (at Toronto, Ontario)

Color Scavanger Hunt 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 * 🌟Re-use your plastic eggs for this fun and colourful learning game. 🌟Check my previous post on "developmental interactive game," for details on how I made the colour cube. 🌟I used a colour cube to throw it with Jacob and them look for the same colour eggs, as indicated bu the cube, around the house. 🌟Once we found the same colour eggs, I pulled out a basket of items in all different colours, so we could pick the same colour items as the cube and egg. 🌟This is such a fun and great learning activity. It gets young kids practicing colour recognition, hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and making cognitive connections. 🌟Hope you have lots of fun! I know we did! * #toddler#toddlerfun#toddlerlife#toddlermom#toddlerlearning#toddlerdevelopmentalgames#makinglearningfun#reusingplasticeggs#havingfunwithtoddler#makinglearningeasy#parentinglife (at Toronto, Ontario)

🌟Play is the way preschoolers learn about the world, only for them its not just play, but, the way they're starting to make sense of the world. 🌟Lately I've been combining puzzles, books and plastic/plush animals to maximize both playtime and Jacobs learning experience. I think it really helps young kids make connections. * 🌟I looked at some research, read below ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ * 🔷Psychologists have determined that a child’s brain development is influenced significantly when a child acts on or manipulates the world around him or her. Puzzles provide that key opportunity. Children learn to work directly with their environment and change its shape and appearance when they work with puzzles. 🌟Working with puzzles helps kids develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, gross motor skills, shape/color recognition, memory, and setting small goals. 🌟Hope everyone having a great day!

✨Benefits of Playing with Bubbles✨ * Haven't met the kid that doesn't like bubbles yet, they love it! Bubbles are such a fun sensory game, from babies to kids all ages. I used bubbles in my Easter activity bag because its such a super fun, yet, simple sensory game, one that gets kids practicing a wide range of developmental activities. 🌟Check my previous post on how to make no-tear bubbles. * 🌟Here's some info I found. Read below ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ * 🌟Fine Motor Skill Development: kids have the opportunity to practice hand coordination, using both hands to hold the bottle and dip, holding the blower with a pencil-like grasp, opening and closing the bottle, and using hands in different ways to pop the bubbles. 🌟Visual Tracking Skills Development: kids follow the bubbles go. Some are fast and some are slow. 🌟Hand/Eye Coordination: it takes serious practice to link up what the eyes and hands are doing in order to accurately dip and blow with a wand. 🌟Sensory Processing Skills: bubbles are wet. and slimy. and sticky. And the physical act of blowing can be a very effective sensory-based way to help children “organize”, calm, and focus their bodies. 🌟Oral Motor Skills: blowing bubbles is good exercise for little mouths. 🌟Social and Communication Skills: kids can ask or sign for “more” and establish eye contact when doing so. And if playing in a group, they can practice taking turns. 🌟Gross Motor Skills: an easy way to get kids to reach way up high, stand on their tippie toes, squat, jump, run, stomp, and kick. 🌟Following Directions: You can give them directions on how to pop the bubbles with each turn (clap them, poke them, squeeze them, jump on them, etc). 🌟Identifying body parts. Pop with your finger, your elbow, your knee, or your nose. 🌟Language and cognitive skills: can teach toddlers and preschoolers how to understand and describe where the bubbles are and what they’re doing by pointing things out when they happen. 🌟Speech Skills: /b/ and /p/ (those formed in the front of the mouth with the lips) are early speech sounds that are naturally used during bubble play. * 🌟Source:http://mamaot.com/about/. * #parentinglife#toddlerlife#toddlerdevelopmentalgames (at Toronto, Ontario)

🍡Edible Tapioca Beads Sensory Activity🍡 * 🍡Recommended age for activity: 2yrs +. 🍡I did this activity with my 1yr old, but, I sat beside him the whole time to make sure he wouldn't eat a handful of tapioca pearls! 🤣. Because he definitely would if I didn't. 🍡This activity is so much fun for kids and really enhances their sensory experience. 🍡This activity Is also great for motor skills development, to review colours and counting (if your toddler is old enough) and talk about textures. 🍡Make sure this activity is right for your child. Small children need to be supervised 100% of the time as they will try to eat the beads!!! They are taste safe, but, kids should be discouraged from doing so. * 🍡What you need: 🌟Tapioca pearls/beads (got mine from the Asian super market). 🌟Vinegar. 🌟Food Colouring (optional). * * 🍡How to: 🌟Cook tapioca pearls according to instructions in packaging (can get the quick cook ones). 🌟Once cooled and rinsed divide pearls in separate containers depending on the colours you want. I used 4 containes, for 4 colours. 🌟add 1tbs of vinegar in each of the containers, then add a bit of food colouring and mix. I used gel food colouring for brighter colours. 🌟I left the pearls for a couple hours so the beads would really absorb the colours. Though, I think an hours should be enough time. 🌟Give each container of pearls a rinse with cold water. 🌟Place all the colours in a large container and give to child to play with, add a few scoops for kids to play with beads as it makes it more fun. 🌟Children have such a blast once they start mixing and scooping 🎉. * #toddler#toddlerlife#toddlermom#toddlerfun#toddleractivities#kidsactivities#sensoryactivitiesfortoddlers#sensoryactiesathome#funwithtoddlerathome#kidsactivities#kidsactivitiesathome#makinglearningfun#makinglearningeasy#toddlerlearning#toddlerdevelopment#toddlerdevelopmentalgames#toddlerplay (at Toronto, Ontario)
