Here is a post I have been meaning to do for ages! In fact I had this made up months ago and have had the pictures for a long time. Any way here it finally is!
So Baby T loves pulling things out and examining them so I created this box to stuff things in and have her pull them out. Origonally a shoe box I cut a hole in the top and covered it with pretty paper (what can I say I like pretty things!). You could easily use an old tissue box but I would take the plastic off incase you child is anything like Baby T and likes to eat plastic (!?). I filled the box with scraps of fabric, wash cloths and some small play silks we have.
I made the hole at the top big enough so I could put other random things in like spoons, blocks or a mixture of her toys.
She loves it!
I have found that she has been enjoying it more and more these days and even takes liberties to pull out of any bag around the house! I have Baby T help me with laundry these days since she likes pulling clothes out of baskets and bags so much. I also have taken to filling a paper bag with random baby friendly items which helps keep her occupied if I need 5 or 10 minutes to do something (like clean the toilet -yuck!).
So what is Baby T learning during this activity??
Shapes
Spacial awareness (getting things in and out of the box)
Fine motor and hand /finger grasping
Texture
Colour
Pattern
Simple, easy and fun - give it a try!
