Izumi age 1 to 18mth

These are all activities we have been using for the last few months. Izzy is about one and half now. Some are instant hits, some never and some she takes her time getting to know. I do not change all the shelves, I just keep an eye on how she moves among the shelves and change activities if she has used a lot and moved on.
I am trying to build up her eye hand co ordination, pincer grip and wrist flexibility also to engage her in interesting and meaningful activities to encourage concentration and order.

Sorting marbles out in metal, wood, plastic and clay pots; Touch and Hearing senses.

Pouring with freshly picked acorns from the park.

Wooden beads in a plastic ice cube tray..very sensorial.

Threading with chunky beads.

Again making the most of our park visits, sorting chestnuts.

Pairing with plastic animls.

Sorting lids and placing each into the next largest.

Shape sorting
