I introduced this simple work to O last week, and she really enjoyed it. The balancing animals are from the dollar section of Target (bought last summer), and they are meant for martini glasses. O had to place them very carefully on the rim of the cup so that they wouldn't fall off. I was surprised that this was a little difficult for her. It was a great lesson in moving slowly and carefully :)
I saw those! What a fun way to use them.:-)
ReplyDeletewe saw those too, but i would've never thought of using them for a balancing activity! way to go!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea - easy to set up, challenging, yet fun. I will try this with my little girl.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten all about tanagrams, although they remind me of a similar sort of activity we do that was inspired by the Mouse Shapes book.
