Our Favorite Activities
Join us as we discover our favorite activities to do with our toddlers! We'll be honest, we sometimes indulge in screen time, but we are committed to incorporating interactive activities to enhance our little ones' skills.
Whether it's playing games, reading books, or exploring outdoor adventures, we are always looking for new ways to engage and entertain our children.
We also love to look for affordable activities. We know kids are expensive! So cheap and reusable is our Go-to!
Together, let's create lasting memories and foster a love for learning in our little explorers. Come join our journey of discovery and watch our kiddos thrive!
Shoe box/ Plain box/Amazon box
Markers in different colors
Pompoms
Scissors
Pom Pom Push
Cut out circles from the box. Make sure the circles are large enough to fit the pompoms.
Color the pompoms using the markers. Use different colors for a vibrant and engaging look.
Color the circles you cut out to match the colors of the pompoms. This will help reinforce color recognition.
Add little spider legs to each circle to make it fun!
Now, the activity is ready for babies and toddlers to explore. Encourage them to pick up the colored pompoms, match them to the corresponding circles, and place them inside the boxes.
This activity not only engages fine motor skills as the little ones pick up the pompoms but also reinforces color recognition as they match the colors. The addition of spider legs adds a playful element to the activity.

2. Divide the items among the bags. You can use a combination of cotton balls, uncooked rice, paint, and orbees. Feel free to add any other safe, interesting items you have access to.
3. For a colorful and visually stimulating experience, consider adding a few drops of paint to the bags. Seal the bags securely.
4. Use tape to attach the bags to the ground. Ensure that they are taped down securely to provide a safe play area for babies during tummy time.
5. Lay the babies on their tummies on the taped bags, allowing them to explore the textures, colors, and shapes inside the bags.
Supervise the babies during playtime to ensure their safety. This sensory play activity encourages tactile exploration and helps with the development of their motor skills.

Sensory Walk!
Glue the sensory items onto your boards.
Tape the boards together to prevent them from slipping and sliding.
Allow your little ones to explore and enjoy the sensory experience!
Building on the theme of our previous activities, let's extend the concept to engage our toddlers. This can serve as a two-in-one activity!
Sensory Stimulation: A sensory walk provides diverse tactile experiences through different textures on the ground, such as grass, sand, or smooth surfaces, stimulating the child's sense of touch.
Balance and Coordination: Walking on uneven surfaces helps improve toddlers' balance and coordination. Negotiating different textures and terrains challenges their motor skills.
Body Awareness: Sensory walks encourage toddlers to be aware of their bodies as they navigate different textures and surfaces. This promotes spatial awareness and a better understanding of their physical abilities.
