We were really busy this month with lots of things to do at home and outside of the house. We had a lot of fun. Here are some of the fun educational things my 16 month old enjoyed.
We got out our fall sensory bin. It's seen lots of use this past month and we'll continue to play with it until December. She definitely prefers the sensory bins involving rice to the leaves and beans. But she has fun dumping it out.
We're working on teacher her the various parts of her body. A simple fun game we play together is to put the leaf on various parts and sing a little song "The leaf is on your _____, the leaf is on your ______"
As I mentioned we've not been just staying at home. Here she is enjoying a jumping pillow at a local farm fall festival. She had a hard time staying up on it but she loved it!
We also visited the zoo. She really likes turtles. I think they're her favorite animal.
We played a lot with our homemade orange Halloween play doh. I found the recipe here. We really enjoyed it however I don't think I added enough seasoning because it didn't smell different from regular play doh.
Somebody gave my son giant coins for Halloween when he was trick or treating. Mary loved sticking them into a wipe container. I tried to get her to attempt to get them out again by sticking her hand in but she was not interested in it at all.
Random day where she didn't nap and we were trying to find some stuff that she could quietly play with while her bother took his first nap in six months (figures she did not nap that day!). The eggs are actually his for matching upper and lower case letters but she had fun just trying to take them apart and put them together. She wasn't able to do it but it was fun and since she doesn't use her hands together frequently a good way to practice that skill.
