The Great Roll & Stomp |
|
Ages: late
Phase 3 (3-1/2 to 5-1/2 months) and Phase 4 (5-1/2 to 8 months) through Phase 6
(14-24 months) Materials:
oatmeal, corn meal, or grits container How to make:
empty an oatmeal, corn meal, or grits cardboard container Activity:
Roll the container with the children. When
they are tired of rolling the container, add a sound maker to the inside (a bell
or other item that will make a loud noise), when that is no longer any fun,
toddlers will enjoy stomping on it and crushing the container.
Variations: Use wooden spoons to pound on the container. Thanks to Diane Facteau and the infant/toddlers at Diane's Family Day Care in Watervliet, NY for this idea.
