Was surfing the net trying to find some fun activities for big bro Shadiq and found some few interesting ones. Most of them use recycle materials and are easy to make, fun to play with your young ones (or even those young at heart!). I have been running out of ideas besides making dough, painting and origamis, to occupy big bro's playtime not just playing with his toys. So I was looking for those that are fast and easy. Here is my top 5 favourites that I wanna try :
1)Alphabet Bugs - draw or print out alphabet bugs. Tape the alphabet bugs all over your body and clothes. Ask your toddler to peel out each letter off. As he takes them off you, he can stick them onto a wall or poster board. Then you can put them all in order at the end and sing the alphabet song. For variation, hide the letters for them to find or you can change the letters to numbers instead.
2)Holes Game - take a big piece of vanguard paper and cut some holes in it, big enough for your hand or head to go through. Use stuffed animals or plastic balls to toss through one side.
3)Balancing Act - place a plastic cup upside down on the floor and put a plastic plate on top so it balances. Let him put the magnetic letters on top of the plate to see how many he can put on before it falls down. You can count the letters with him or say out the letter.
4)Bowling - Set up plastic bottles like bowling pins. Have toddlers use a lightweight plastic ball to roll down from a short distance to knock down the bottles.
5)Animals on a Log - Precut animal pictures that lives on trees or may sit on the branches. Let your toddler colour the pictures and stick onto long branches. Tie string to both ends of the branch to hang. You can sing Five little Monkeys. For variation, you can use small plastic toy animals/bugs.
