Friday Fun

Fun with socks?
Toddlers love handling everyday objects, especially if they belong to the adults they love. Here are few ideas for yet another day stuck inside while we wait for fine spring weather.


WHAT’S INSIDE THE SOCK?
Place a familiar object inside a large sock.
Let your toddler feel the outside of the sock.
Have him try to guess what is inside the sock by its shape and feel.



QUIET FEET
Help your child slip on large socks over her shoes.
Then show her how to slide over the kitchen floor.
Variation: Have your child take off her shoes and slide in her own socks.

SOCK SORT
Give your toddler a pile of two colors of socks to sort into two color piles.
Or give him a pile of two sizes of socks to sort into two size piles.

SOCK TOSS
Roll up three or four socks into balls.
Set out your laundry basket on the floor.
Have your toddler practice tossing the sock balls into the basket.
