Keeping little ones busy....




While A was busy doing her writing, I kept S busy with pompoms.....He had two bowls and had to pick up the tiny pompoms with tweezers and then drop them into the other bowl. It helped him with his pincer grip, and with hand-eye co-ordination. He enjoyed that for a while, and then I used an idea from Daisy's blog montessorihomeschooler.blogspot.com/ to give him a spoon and he spooned the pompoms from one bowl to another...this kept him busy for quite a while :)

What a fantastic idea!! So cute!!

I used to give Haley measuring cups and funnels and a big bowl of dried beans or noodles...the fun was ENDLESS!!
