Transporter Truck Addition 🚚

Anything with wheels are a favourite with the Mini! So I base a lot of our activities around vehicles.

This one here features Transporter Trucks carrying numbered cars.

🚗 The little guy had to solve the simple addition problem in each car slot to get a number.

🚗 He had to then find the car with that number and place it in it's slot inside the Transporter Truck!

🚗 Placed a few pebbles, for him to use as counting manipulators.

The Paper Dolls Craft ✂️

One of Mini's latest favourite books is The Paper Dolls by Julia Donaldson. It's a simple sweet book about a little girl and her 5 paper Dolls who always hold hands.

We love adding props to our book reading sessions. The little one asked me yesterday to help him make similar paper dolls. I promised we will do it as an after school activity today and so we did!

Ice Cream Shop Pretend Play 🍦🍧🍨

I had set this up a few weeks ago, for the little guy. He loves playdough and also ice creams... Combine the two, and it was a hit! 😄 The setup might look like a lot, but it hardly took me a few minutes to put it all together. 

I already had some homemade playdough of different colours lying at home. I only made a fresh batch of playdough with a hint of vanilla essence to make the Vanilla 'Ice Cream'! :)

A little chalkboard name board for his store. 

Muffin tray to hold the various 'flavours'. 

An upcycled carboard box to hold the 'ice cream cones'.

Magnetic or Non-magnetic Sensory Bin

The little one was introduced to magnets earlier this month through the DIY Magnetic Fishing game, that we played at the his birthday and more recently through the Magnetic Paper Plate Maze we made last week.

So lately, his curiosity around how magnets work, is high! He goes around the house with his little magnetic stick (from the maze game) or the fishing hook trying to see what sticks to his magnet and what doesn't! 😅
