Miles is 15 months old.
I'm sort of attempting to have both of my kiddos using the same theme (for now anyway), so some of Miles' activities this week coordinate with Sophie's "All About Me" theme. I figured this was a great way to focus on learning some body parts with Miles.
Here's what's on his shelf this week:
Dress Up Play. I put some simple accessories in a basket for Miles to explore. I included a couple hats, shoes, a slipper, some sunglasses, an oven mitt, a glove, and a mirror and then would encourage him to put the item on the correct body part. He couldn't always get the item on independently, but he would attempt to put it in the right place. We had fun with this one!
Melissa and Doug Caterpillar Gear Toy.
Sticky Picture. I shared more about this fun way to talk about body part vocabulary over at Activity Mom this week. He liked sticking the balls on his picture, but he really enjoyed throwing the pom pom balls and letting them land there instead!
Paper Tearing. I loved his face whenever he realized that I was really letting him tear the construction paper!
We also read lots of books about the parts of the body. He's really proud of his new skill of identifying his eyes, ears, and nose! And he points to his feet whenever we say its time to get shoes on, so I think this theme came at the perfect time for him!
