…build rockets, an octopus and *I think it was* a train out of toilet papaer rolls.

…paint in the zip lock plastic bags and study color theory. Looks messy, but it takes no time to clean up! And it was pretty fun even for me. :D

…go to the farm! No comments on this one – it’s always fun!

…put two boxes into each other, and put small objects in to the basket. I’m talking about Youngster. ;) I find it impressive, since he is still a baby in my head! ;) Besides, he started to climb up the stairs, so I try to teach him to climb down backwards as well.

…play with a number of different puzzles, duplo and play dough.

…jump over and run around letter. I was saying the letter Lil’ Fil would find and jump over and he would do that! What impresses me is how many letters he already knows!

…work with “number puzzle”. I found it here. It’s a great blog, where you can find many useful printouts.

And as ussual, you can find more ideas on my Pinterest board.

P.S. Thank you grandpa & M for lovely dinner night and outstanding presents! :)

P.S. And isn’t the butterfly he made gorgeous??? ;D

…to here just in one year!

P.S. Check out those longest and cutest eyelashes I’ve ever seen! ♥

…played (pretty long time) with the “moon sand”. A great idea which I got from my friend L. You just mix one part of vegetable oil with 3-4 parts of flour and there you go!

…spent many sunny hours outside planting, crawling, jumping, riding, watering, eating, running, screaming, playing and cutting grass.

…painted a real masterpiece. I bought more paint and new brushes and let Lil’ Fil paint on canvas like the real artists! :) Canvas is great and much more suitable for the little artists than paper… The only downside is that it’s just tooo expensive! :(

…tried to draw cars using templates. I thought that it would help Lil’ Fil to believe that he actually can draw. He is not sure he can, but either he wasn’t in the mood or it’s just not his thing, but he didn’t like the templates too much. I’ll try another time.

…made a lot of beautiful things out of the play dough. I think noone knows what that is, but according to Lil’ Fil :”It’s beautiful!” Huh, what do I know??;D Lil’ Fil is actually a great fan of play dough now and can spend up to an hour playing – a great concentration practice. Youngster got to play with the edible play dough. He is eating everything! Literally, e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g!

…counted milk caps in the jar and built a racing car and rockets out of toilet paper rolls and milk caps. None of it lasted for more than 5 min, but that’s not the point. :D

…played with adapter. :D It’s a great fine motor skills practice and by the way Lil’ Fil found it by himself. I’m sooooo loving the natural curiosity in these little creatures! ;)

You can always find more ideas on my Pinterest board. Enjoy!
