Learning Activities for 27 Months Toddler

Friday, 12 February 2016

*** contains affiliate links ***

Vito is 27 months old.

These are the activities I prepared for Vito this month.  Sort of a Valentines Day Unit as well, I combined the hearts and flower activities in this month’s activities.    Vito is doing well so far in all of these activities, especially in counting and all those related in fine motor skills.

1.  Gems and Flower.  Originally this is for Do-a-Dot activity but I wanted to keep the printed material so I made him use the gems.  The printed flower is from 3 Dinosaurs.

2.  Spooning heart table scatters to ice tray.  A one to one correspondence activity, basic concept for math.  But this was mainly for spooning practice. The heart scatters are from Amazon.

3.  Tweezing and sorting colored roses.  I have lots of tweezers so I made him use this Jumbo Tweezers from Learning Resources to see if his hand can control this gigantic tool. So far, he’s able to grasp it but still finds it hard to hold on to the flower for a long time. He’s able to sort the flowers correctly though.

4.  Flower arranging Activity.  Vito has no concept of flower arrangement as of the moment, but this activity is for hand-eye coordination practice.

5.  Sorting bear counters according to colours.  He’s pretending to put the bears to sleep (in the color tablets).

6.  One to one correspondece using counting cards and gems.  You can read about it here. 

7.  Matching flower cards. I am giving these cards for free till February 15, 2016 11PM GMT.  Check this post for more information.

8.  Punching the flowers into the styrofoam, to strengthen those hand  muscles!

9. Color mixing of red and white fingerpaints to produce pink.

  • Best Arts & Crafts for Kids and {Learn & Play Link Up}

    Wednesday, 3 February 2016

    Years ago, Mavi would do a lot of artist study.  One of my favorites is our Van Gogh project, The Sunflower.  It was one of those rare moment wherein both Mavi and I were in depth with our subject and were absorbed by the beauty of painting.  But it was just more than artwork. We studied the life of Van Gogh, and how his life reflected in his work.  (click the image below for more details)
