Ever since I started doing some Montessori activities with Sammy he asks me to do an "activity" everyday. Honestly, sometimes I make one up on the spot because it baffles me that he wants to do it. I know Sammy is quite active, but for some reason he loves these activities and I think it's because learning has become enjoyable-quite ingenious in that when I was a child I was taught to learn not because I enjoyed the content, but because I had to. Now we know that the better way to reach kids is by using their interests as a tool.
Here are a few activities I was going to do next week, let me know if they work for you.
I found them on First Palette-which is pretty amazing and I know I'll keep going back to!
Zooming Pens-So easy and I think he'll love it!
Flip Book-I thought this one would be good to print out and make and then take it on the go, so they can do it at a restaurant or when we're out.
