Little Dude has just turned one (I seriously can't believe it!) and is getting more into the other boys toys and more adventurous play. With Bud now at school I just have two boys to keep busy during the bulk of the day, but need play for both a baby and a pre-schooler, so he's some sensory play that's just a little different for the two boys.....
Here is the set up for Champ I put some oats in a tray and buried some coins for him to find adding spoons and pots so he could do a bit of scooping and pouring.
He really enjoyed the treasure hunt and then buried the coins and played all over again.
For Little Dude I put him in his highchair and gave him spoons and plastic pots as well then added a few handfuls of oats to the table which he enjoyed picking up, pouring etc.
A LOT of oats went on the floor (hence the two splat rating) and I added more handfuls as needed. He really enjoyed himself although I did have to empty his pockets (and nappy) of oats later! It did make a mess, but it was dry and swept up really easily, so one to do again!
I hope you enjoyed this post you can check out more baby play posts here, or why not check out my baby play Pinterest board or hook up with Facebook or G+
That looks a lot of fun. Did he try and eat them? I am sure my 3 1/2 year old would put it all in his mouth lol.

Champ who's nearly three didn't try and, but Little Dude at one definitely tried, but quickly decided they weren't the nicest!
DeleteFood like oats and rice are great for play for little ones.
