Using paint sample swatches to "color" in an apple
Getting ready for a smell-matching activity. I used cinnamon, vinegar, vanilla & almond extractHonestly, just opening the bottles of the actual items and letting him smell them was just as fun for him and not as much work!
Matching numbers from the baby food jar lids while waiting for me to finish getting the activity together.
Color matching using paint color swatches. This was a big hit!
More color sorting and matching.
One of my favorite go-to websites for simple crafts and activities to do with Max is No Time for Flashcards. Here are some activities Max did this morning, some of which I got from this site and another one that I got from some Montessori sites. There are so many educational products on the market today, from in utero on up, I just don't believe in bombarding my little ones mind like that. Little ones learn best through play and feeling secure with their caregivers, so for us, the philosophies of these websites really work!
