Contact Paper

Contact paper is amazing. Turn it sticky side out and tape it with painter's tape or masking tape to any surface and kids will go crazy. Very small ones may enjoy just feeling the stickiness. Others will want to stick things to it. Roman really enjoys when I give him small paper shapes to stick to the contact paper. He likes to stick it on and take it off. And when he's done, we turn it around and stick it to a window for a few days for him to look at. You can talk about shapes, colors, and textures very easily with this activity.

Water Play - It contains 4 stackable floating frogs, a floating Lilypad, a slide, a wet toy drying bag, and a book about sinking and floating.  The print-out is a set of colored lily pads for color sorting. I just used regular colored paper instead since my printer isn't working well.

Sensory: This crate is mostly about playing in the water as a sensory experience. It is also about color recognition with the stacking frogs and motor skills to stack the frogs and slide them down the slide.

Safari Tracks - Road Mat, Elephant Car, Felt Leaves, Book (Olive's Duck Chase), the included print-out for this one was a camera with removable pictures of animals

Visual Tracking: can you follow the path with your elephant car, can you name the animals, find the giraffe, find the elephant, find the hidden leaves.

Buzzy Beehive - 2 puzzle boards, 6 bee pieces, a bee hive, a book, wonder magazine, and instruction booklet, On the website you can print out a bee matching activity as well.

This box is about learning shapes and colors. It is also about fine motor control. We can push the bees into the hive using the door on the front or the slot on top. To get the bees our, we shake it and they fall out a hole on the bottom. We can match the colors and shapes on the bee puzzles.
