~ ~ C is 22 months ~ ~
C had a great week and was more than happy to choose a variety of materials from his shelves. He also had a couple of firsts with some of them too.
Our monthly Art Gallery visit was moved to the morning so he got to come along and thankfully this time around they had out heaps of things for littles to explore.
He fell in love with this wooden cake immediately, spending quite a lot of time pulling the candles off and putting them back on and blowing them out, of course. (practising for something that is just around the corner maybe ;-)
Then he found the knife and was completely enthralled with cutting up the cake.
He chose this little bear puzzle, it's one of those one's where you can mix and match the pieces. We only have enough pieces to make one bear out at the moment, but now that he has mastered it I might add in some of the other bits for him.
Some simple stamping with animal stamps, full of nice messy black ink!
I've been searching for a cheese shaker (non breakable) for ages and finally found one at the local $2 store. He loved this. Simple pipe cleaners pushed into the holes of the shaker. He inspected the ends of each of them before pushing them into the holes.
See mum, all finished!
And for another first, since he enjoyed the cake cutting so much I rolled out some playdough for him and gave him a butter knife to cut it up. He spent well over half an hour doing this one activity, he was completely in the zone.
