Kids Are Weird!

Ana is still finger knitting. She has around 300 feet which she has formed into this "octopus" which she mounted on a pole. Currently, she is torturing Mitike with it. How do they think of these things?

2 Quick Kids Ideas

Ana loves to play with beads. She is now into dumping them into different pots, pans, and cups. This is a MESSY activity. So, I let her sit in one of her boxes and dump away. It saves tons of time during clean up because the beads can be poured into the container.

Ana was playing with a large clip and I thought "What great fine motor skill practice!" I dug through one of my drawers and pulled out some small clips from Daiso and had her clip them to the side of the bowl. She has great fun taking them all off too. Such a simple activity kept her attention for 20 minutes!
