Toddler Activities & Link-up

For today’s Montessori Moment I decided to post about some Toddler type activities.
Our little Belle is just over a year and a half and she already loves to work like her big sister.
One activity that was introduced this weekend was blowing bubbles! Her Kookum (grandma in Cree) had the pleasure of introducing this work.

What persistence!

I have found this activity helpful in getting young children to understand the concept of blowing. I introduce this activity before some practical life activities such as blowing your nose.

A new activity she enjoys in spooning 2 different colored sets of bears into the matching cups. Once she was able to do this activity by using just her hands I introduced the spoon. She LOVES this!

A very simple puzzle that we I had out a few months ago has again become a favorite. She likes to put the circle into the space and say blue (She also has a puzzle like this that has 3 circles in a row from smallest to largest she loves that puzzle too, but I did not have it out this week).

This Stack and Sort Board has been worked with for hours! She loves to sit by her mat and place the colors/shapes in the correct spot. She is quite funny sometimes and if she notices me watching her she will purposely start to put a shape on the wrong peg, smile an me and say nahhhhh and then proceed to put it on the correct peg.

Wow, I could have gone on and on with this post, but now it’s YOUR turn!

What activities do you do with your infant/toddler?
