– Bring the fun inside without the mess
Large plastic box or container
Rice or cereal
Measuring cups, a variety of spoons and some favourite pieces from the Little Miss’ tea set
Large towels or a sheet for easy clean-up
Fill a plastic box with rice or breakfast cereal, and place it on a sheet or towel on the floor. Show your toddler how to scoop and pour. Let the Dinky Dot work on her fine motor skills by picking up grains individually.
Hide small toys in the rice for her to find.
Note: This game is best played on a hard floor where you can sweep up any mess. (Is it only my toddler who can’t stay on the sheet?)
* Make sure that whatever you use does not pose a choking hazard and be prepared for a little crunch ‘n munching (commonly known as elevenses) especially if you are using a favourite Breakfast cereal.
