Yesterday, Toddlers really enjoyed creating their own ‘Shape/Colour’ trains. Can you make a train at home? Add 4-5 different carriages and paint them different colours. Cut out a series of shapes that match these colours e.g Red Circles, Blue Squares etc. Match them up to the correct carriages and practice your shape and colour recogniton.
Yesterday, Babies enjoyed exploring Gingerbread Playdough yesterday. Can you make your own sensory playdough at home? Use 2 cups flour, 1 cup water, 1tbsp oil and add different spices to explore different smells.
