Tuesday July 14th/ Toddlers and Maracas
Toddlers love shaking things and rhythm. Try making your own maracas and shaking them to a song or twelve!
You can use:
empty bottles
empty spice containers
any container will do...
beans
rice
Start with only three sizes. Small, medium and large of the object. Show your toddler how they fit inside each other and come apart again. See how long it takes them to try it on their own. Let your toddler play with this idea for awhile and master it before introducing more sizes. Once they have it add a few more of the measuring cups, spoons, or what ever object you are working with.
