I need to bookmark this one to try with Annabelle. Thank you for always sharing creative ways to learn with our toddlers. Such a blessing to stop over here.Jessica Montehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883632864851759423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535558816784279102.post-91906781353508009862009-04-16T07:33:00.000-04:002009-04-16T07:33:00.000-04:00For those enjoying a colorful spring, I saw an act...For those enjoying a colorful spring, I saw an activity similar to the bunny tray color match but done with an egg tray. Each cup was colored in with a different shade (like yours) and kids were encouraged to go on a nature walk to find each of the colors in nature and place a bit of it in the corresponding egg cup. Some black dirt could go in the black cup, brown seeds in the brown, flowers, leaves, white sand, whatever they can find to match each color from nature. Sounded like fun to me!<br /><br />We turned an oatmeal canister into a "curplunk" can, cutting a slit in the plastic lid and offering colored craft sticks (dollar store find!) to slide through the slit. For younger toddlers, cut the slit in the bottom of the can and take the lid off. When they successfully fit the stick through the bottom and let it drop, they can lift the can to see their stick (teaches object permanence).<br /><br />Thanks for all your great ideas and have fun!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15476636154469326229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535558816784279102.post-37761446935411395412009-04-16T02:25:00.000-04:002009-04-16T02:25:00.000-04:00I love these ideas - perfect for my 2yo...I love these ideas - perfect for my 2yo...Mozi Esmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16078786257885681829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535558816784279102.post-27951240438761461372009-04-16T00:27:00.000-04:002009-04-16T00:27:00.000-04:00Oh those footsteps are absolutely BRILLIANT!!!

Will do that I think as Tilly is big on matching. <br /><br />Thanks for this post you have reinspired me - was feeling a bit over making Montessori things and implementing them for some reason. You have kick started my buzz again. Hugs.<br /><br />(:Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031000444299690058noreply@blogger.com
