My original Pinterest pins come from:
So I started off with setting out a few items that were easy to pick up and handle herself.
Contact paper on the sliding door ready to go.
Here is Princess Peanut – she touched it straight away. It’s sticky!
With a bit of encouragement Princess Peanut started to put the pompoms on and off.
Then added some straws – also putting them on and off. In the end she decided she didn’t want anything left on there.
The inspiration for the second part of our activity came from..
The activity mom
I gave Princess Peanut some stickers and asked her to stick each one on a different part of her body. She is just learning the different parts – exciting times!
We were a little off with our knee!
We then switched to sticking stickers on the paper. Which was great fun, until Princess Peanut wanted to take them on and off. BUT – my mother and I came up with ingenious idea…..a laminated sheet! We’ve since tried it out and it works wonders…especially with those thick, puffy stickers.
Verdict: great, but quick with Princess Peanut’s concentration! She absolutely is obsessed with stickers at the moment – it is one of her favourite words!
Adaptions: as I mentioned above, the laminated sheet works perfectly for Princess Peanut as she likes to take the stickers off. She also likes to stick stickers on Mumma and Dadda too, so I can see an easy progression for her to use the name of the body parts, at the moment I am modelling for her “ooh you stuck the sticker on my arm”.
Until next time!
