The following is the shelve that lives in our dining room. This was taken many months ago. The works are now different. |
To the left of this shelf is his table. |
So back to the shelve. The items on the shelf are often rotated. Some things stay a very long time because big boy really likes them. The most important thing that I do for my two year old, and this is true for any two year old, is to narrow down toys. What I mean is: if the shape sorter like the one below brings two of each shape, only put out one of each shape. Once they have mastered that, then put two of each shape.
There is so much language with this toy. Color, shape, in, out, give me. This is not a Montessori Toy and most of our toys are not. |
These are the stacking cups. This particular set comes with 11 or 12 cups. I only put 4 or 5 out at a time. |
Big Boy loves music. Music is always out. |
This changes. Currently transportation! Vroom Vroom! |
Other works I put out for Big Boy:
1. Baskets of items of the same color
2. Bowls and cups with tops to match
3. Discovery basket - random items with different textures for him to discover
4. Always have balls out of different sizes.
5. The playschool farm
6. Puzzles
7. Plastic zoo animals
