Curling, gross motor and social activity for toddlers

 



 CURLING 

Winter Gross motor and Social activity for toddlers

Supplies :

- Empty bleach container
-Utility knife 
- Duct tape
- Long piece of white paper
- Red and blue construction paper
- Glue stick 

Preparation :

Wash the bleach container, cut off the middle part with an utility knife.  Keep 1 to 2 inches from the narrower part on top and cut at the bottom line of the bottom part so you can insert the top in the bottom.  Insert the top part in the bottom part and tape with duct tape.


Cut 2 big rings of blue construction paper (as big as a 8 x 11 piece allows you) then 2 smaller red ones.



Cut a long piece of white paper from a roll ( about 6 feet long).  Glue the rings at each end of the paper.


Cover with a slightly bigger contact paper.

How to play curling with the 2 years old :

Just show them how to push the "stone" across the "ice" and try to make it go in the house (on the rings).  Give one a stone and one a little broom.  Let them play how they want 😀 


 
I demonstrated how to push the "stone" from one end to the other and we watched some games on line then I let them play as they wish.  Don't expect they do for a long time, the game is over when they Start to peel the "ice".

Happy curling!

S'more book for toddlers

 S'more book for toddlers A print concepts activity I had so much fun doing this project during nap.  I'd like to encourage you to draw even if you think you are bad at it.  Most of us draw like a 12 years old because it is when we stopped. I saw on pinterest a similar book but it was for preschool therefore too advanced for my kids so I came up with this one.  I Google hazelnut drawing and to my surprise I found something and same thing with marsmallow fluff.  I chose the simplest one and tried to replicated it.  Well I'm happy with the result. The coloring part was fun too.
