The moment Grayson turned one, he was suddenly a different child. All of a sudden there was SO MUCH he could do, so much he wanted to explore, and so much I wanted to teach him. I love used my teacher brain to come up with plans and activities for us to do together. Big brother Hayden has been having fun with winter themed learning activities, so I decided to create some winter activities for Grayson too. Grayson: 14 months old Focus: color- blue, shape- circle **Snowman Ball Sort- Grayson has been coming back to this activity all week, it was a favorite. I used part of a box of diapers for the backing, and then cut a large snowman from butcher paper. I made holes in the center, and outlined them with red, yellow, and blue marker. I handed Grayson a basket of balls, and he placed them through the holes. Over, and over, and over again!!!! He is too young to match the colors correctly, but I did emphasis what color the ball was, as he pushed it through. **Blue Oil & Water Squish Bag- To explore the color blue, I added vegetable oil, blue food coloring, and a tiny bit of water into a ziplock bag. I sealed it VERY tight, and then taped it down to an activity tray. Grayson loved to squish the blue dots, stomp them, even sit on them. **Sticky Circle Collage- As I was cleaning out my craft room, I found a stack of blue circles. Figured I could use them, before getting rid of them. I cut out a piece of contact paper, and stuck it in a frame. Grayson loved to put the circles on and off the sticky contact paper. **Snowflake Hunt- I picked up some foam snowflakes at an after Christmas sale, and drew circles and squares on them. I hid them around the room (in very obvious places), and told Grayson to find the snowflakes. As he brought them to me, I would tell him the shape on each snowflake. **Coffee Creamer Push Snowman- This was his absolute favorite activity of the week. I used an empty coffee creamer and drew a snowman on the outside. I gave Grayson sparkley pom poms and had him push them through the top. He LOVED doing this. Make sure to monitor closely if your child still tries to eat everything! **Sticky Snowman- Another activity using contact paper. I drew a snowman on construction paper, and then covered with contact paper. I gave Grayson blue tissue paper, and had him cover the snowman.
