The idea for this activity came from The Wonder Years. It's a simple and fun activity which was easy to put together. I took 10 bells and removed the balls from the centers of 5 of them. Then I put them in a bowl together. O picks up one bell at a time, shakes it, and determines if it should go on the sound side or no sound side.

Bell Activity
I brought this activity out of our Montessori rotation box since I thought was appropriate for the season. O enjoyed doing this work...until I borrowed a couple of bells for a handmade gift :)

Yes, soo cute!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a picture of your rotation box? I've always wondered where you put all the millions of fun things you have!
ReplyDeleteI am also intrested to see the rotation box.
ReplyDeleteAlso, as my son is older (6) I have an idea. Change the bells each time it's set out (so that isn't a memory game) and do the sound/no sound. Then count them and find out which has more/less.
Great idea - I wonder if I take the bells out if I can put them back in for future use? I may borrow your idea to do w/ my toddler.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

what a fun activity!! my little one would love it!!
ReplyDeleteI loved this idea! Since I have 4-5 year olds I added to it to make it harder. I had my kids count how many in each category and then write the number. They had a great time! Thanks for the idea.
