Start by drawing a basic head and a body. Your little one can also have a go at cutting them and asking you to have a go!Īll you need is a piece of paper, some pens or pencils and a dice. You can either print out pictures, use pictures from out of magazines or use old birthday cards that you may have.Ĭut them up into a variety of shapes, sizes and angles, then encourage your little ones to put them back together. Today, why not have a go at making some homemade puzzles! It’s really easy. (With thanks to Hands On As We Grow and What Moms Love for the idea and pictures) To add another challenge, why not ask your little one to take a step back and throw?

Start criss-crossing the tape across the top or middle of the door (depending on the height of your little one and how high you think they might be able to throw). Here’s a great idea for a game that helps your little onesto develop their hand eye coordination and have fun at the same time.Īll you need is a roll of sticky tape, kitchen paper, newspaper or anything to scrunch up into balls (socks work too) and a doorway. (With thanks to the Thrive360Living and PreemieMomTips websites for the pictures) Why not number each of the skittles, then as your little one rolls the ball and knocks one over, name the number on it? This will help your little one to begin to recognise number names and their written form. Try and knock down as many as you can and whoever knocks down the most, wins. It works a treat! Finally, a rolled-up sock makes a great little ball, or you may already have one of your own to use.Įncourage your little one to decorate the tubes, then once dry, line them up and roll your ball. No glue? Not a problem, just mix up a little flour and water to make a paste. To create your own skittles all you need are cardboard tubes, scissors, some glue, paint, pens, shiny bits and bobs, scraps of paper or whatever you have to hand. (With thanks to Raising Dragons for the idea) If you want to make the game more challenging for older children, try numbering the tubes and rolling the ball through them in numerical order. The aim is to roll the round thing through the tubes. Then, stick them onto a tray or box lid with space enough to roll a small round thing around in. Who knew a tube could do all that?įirst, you need some cardboard tubes, cut into smaller pieces of varying sizes. It’s also great for fine motor skills, balance and coordination. This clever idea is a great way to help your little one become one of the engineers or mathematicians of the future. Now, see if you can get ‘Bingo’ by spotting all the objects! It can be as easy or as hard as you like. Then, create a simple grid with squares and draw the things onto each square. Have a chat with your little one about the things they might see whilst out walking, out in the garden (if you have one) or simply by looking outside through the window?
