Keeping our toddler busy

I am learning to love the dollar store. Now that I am working in the schools with preschool and elementary aged children I need to find inexpensive activities to enhance fine/visual motor skills. This also provides an opportunity to find fun things for Elle to do.

I love the window clings and magnets too which happens to be some of Elle's favorites. We have a magnetic whiteboard where she can play with different magnets and also color with whiteboard crayons.

I love pom poms and so does Elle she is finding lots of places to hide them around the house. This was a color sorting activity which she was able to do very easily and soon we will be doing some projects with them using glue and popsicle sticks and tongs for additional fine motor practice. The opportunities are endless.

 

The foam letter and number puzzle is fun and time consuming to disassemble, one day putting it back together will also be entertaining. Anything for learning and to keep busy.
