Activity For My Son
I’ve been racking my brain for activities to do with my one and half year old son. Taking leave from work has allowed me to spend more time with him. A much needed time for mother and son bonding. However, finding a fun activity for him has been quite a challenge.
It seems that his toys don’t amuse him anymore, he only watches tv when the azan (muslims’ call for prayer)’s on, and he can only concentrate on his picture books for a few minutes. However, he loves playing with water but makes a huge puddle of a mess leaving the floors drenched and slippery, and he loves picking up dust particles which are icky and hazardous if he puts them in his mouth! So what does a mommy do to entertain her son?
I’ve decided to search the web for activities to do with toddlers. I found a number of sites dedicated to this. Here’s a rather good one from http://www.babycentre.co.uk/.
Young collector
Go for a walk together and take a bucket with you. Collect small objects that interest your toddler — stones, leaves, pine cones. Your toddler will want to carry the bucket, but don’t be surprised if she also dumps its contents and starts again. Toddlers at this age love to fill containers just so then can empty them again! Meanwhile, she’s practising her hand movements and developing dexterity.
Hmm.. I guess I can tailor this activity into an indoor one. I suppose I can get more activities from Mamafiza too. She’s amazing with her children!
