So my little guy just turned 2 last month. Crazy I know!! Anyway those of you who have kids know it is hard to entertain a 2 year old for very long! Winter is coming fast around here and I have been stressed about what to do with him because he wont be able to go outside and play and I dont want him to just sit in front of the TV all day. So I decided I would make games and things so he will learn his colors, ABCs, and counting.
So today we made this! Just a simple matching type game of his colors.. I make him repeat the color before he puts the clothes pin on. He actually likes it a lot so that is great!
It is super simple to make.. I saw something like this on Pinterest and thought "hey i have all the stuff to make that i will try it out". I traced a circle onto a box and cut it out. Then i attempted to make even sections and color them. Don't judge i couldnt get the sections perfect but i figured he is 2 he wont care.
Then i painted each color and he helped by painting the newspaper I put under it. And i panted the clothes pins and let it dry and then gave it to him. So i will let him play with it today then maybe put it away for a couple weeks and trade out other activities so he doesn't get bored with it.
Anyway I will try to post all my ideas for the winter as i make them so keep checking back :)
