🐟🐠Aquarium Sensory Bottle🦑🐙 * 🐠Fantastic sensory activity for young and older kids! Great to teach them about sea animals, and water💧. 🐟Can also play an aquatic "I spy game," and make it even more fun!🎉 🐳Older kids can have extra fun putting everything inside the bottle. * 🐡What you need: 🌟A Voss bottle, or, any bottle with smooth surface and wide opening, so to place items inside. I used a Voss bottle as it's perfect for it. 🌟Small sea animals. I used 6 animals, got them from Michaels. 🌟Sea shells, got mine from the dollar store. I used 20 small shells, and 10 shells in bigger assorted sizes. Can use more, or, less depending on preference. 🌟Baby oil, 4 tsp. To help everything move better inside the bottle, and create a more realistic look. 🌟Blue food colouring, 1 drop. 🌟Water. 🌟Hot glue (optional). * 🦑How to: 🌟Fill 3/4 of the bottle with water. 🌟Add food colouring, and shake. 🌟Add baby oil, and shake again. 🌟Then, place sea shells, and sea animals inside the bottle. 🌟Once everything is inside the bottle continue to fill with water to the top. 🌟My son is 13 months, so, I sealed the bottle with hot glue, to make sure he won't open it. Older kids may also open the bottle and spill blue water on your floors. However, if this isn't a concern no need for the hot glue. If no hot glue is used, the bottle can be re-used, which is a benefit; however, safety 1st! 😁. 🌟I do want to retrieve the animals after we're done with the bottle, I'll just have to cut it open. 🌟That's it!! 🎉Hope your kiddos have a blast😁🌟. * #funwithtoddler#toddlemom#toddler#toddlerfun#nomesskidsactivities#toddleractivities#toddleractivitiesathome#kidsactivitiesathome#diyaquariumsensorybottle#sensorybottles#funwithkids#parenting#parentinglife#diykidsactivities#diykidssensoryactivities#toddlerlife#toddlerlearning#makinglearningsimple#makinglearningfun (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)

🔷Importance of Shapes and Colours🔶 * 🔴Although recognizing objects as red or blue, round or square might seem like child’s play, it’s actually integral to a young child’s cognitive development, and sets the stage for math concepts from sorting and patterning to geometry, and beyond! 🔵When playing with shapes, you can also teach your child to make shapes with his/her body. It's so much fun! * 🌟Source: https://www.education.com/magazine/article/practice-preschool-shapes-colors/ * #toddler#toddlerfun#toddlerfun#toddlerlearning#toddlergames#toddlerdevelopment#toddlerdevelopmentalgames#toddlerlearningcolors#toddlerlearningshapes#toddleractivities#toddleractivitiesathome#craftymommy#smarttoddlersrock#toddlermom#toddlerinfo#toddlercolourandshapegames#funwithtoddler#makinglearningfun#makingleaders#makinglearningeasyandfun#makinglearningeasier#makinglearningexciting#makinglearningeasier#makinglearningsimple (at Toronto, Ontario)

🌟Interactive Cognitive Developmental Game🌟 * 🔷Great game to teach your toddler or practice with your toddler colors and shapes🔹🔺. 🔶Color and shape are ways children observe and categorize what they see. These very recognizable characteristics encourage children to define and organize the diverse world around them. 🔷Sorting by color and shape prepares your child for future mathematical applications, classifying information, making comparisons and organizing information. 🔵This is such a fun and interactive game. Here toddler and caregiver will take turns throwing each of the cubes, and then sort items according to what they get. You can make the game even more fun by being silly and encouraging your toddler to look for items around the house that have the same colours or shapes that appear in the cube. 🔴Details coming tomorrow! 🎉 * 🌟Info source on colour and shape: http://www.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=3746476 * #toddler#toddlerfun#toddlerfun#toddlerlearning#toddlergames#toddlerdevelopment#toddlerdevelopmentalgames#toddlerlearningcolors#toddlerlearningshapes#toddleractivities#toddleractivitiesathome#craftymommy#smarttoddlersrock#toddlermom#toddlerinfo#toddlercolourandshapegames#funwithtoddler#makinglearningfun#makingleaders#makinglearningeasyandfun#makinglearningeasier#makinglearningexciting#makinglearningeasier#makinglearningsimple (at Toronto, Ontario)
