That's a cool idea! My little one loves his sensory toys too, especially those that light up or make sounds when you touch them. I'll try your busy bin trick by putting away some of his beloved toys and introducing them as "new" distractions on other days.
I find that rotating toys helps a lot because it gives the sensation of having new things to play with! And you're right, sensory toys are such a win for keeping their senses engaged.
Yeah, the element of surprise works wonders!
Yes, the sense of 'newness' is so effective in capturing their short attention spans! I also love including different textures and materials in the busy bin - like bubbles wrap, cotton balls or even those squishy stress balls haha. It's fascinating how intrigued they get with these simple things!
Sensory toys are only half the battle won. The other half is good ol' fashioned creative imagination. I remember playing with just about anything and everything as a kid and using my imagination to have fun - which seems to be lacking in todays kids because they're spoonfed stimulation and entertainment.
It's fascinating how something as simple as storing toys away can make them feel like new presents! The excitement and joy on their little faces make all the effort worth it.
The simplest things often bring toddlers the most delight - they don't need fancy gadgets or elaborate activities. It's adorable how they find pleasure in uncovering the familiar, especially when it's been absent for a while! These little things keep their curiosity alive and make life interesting.
It's heartwarming to see how our children can find enjoyment in the most mundane tasks. There's a sense of comfort too, in knowing that simple pleasures can bring them so much happiness.
That's lovely! Kids really do find pleasure in the simplest things, don't they? A wooden spoon and some bubbles can provide so much entertainment, it's quite fascinating!
The little ones sure do keep things interesting with their curiosity and wide-eyed wonder! It's like discovering the world anew through their eyes.
it's a refreshing perspective that toddlers have - finding wonder in the ordinary! It's a timely reminder to slow down and appreciate the little joys life has to offer.
Aah, those are the little things that make motherhood fulfilling. Finding enjoyment in everyday tasks together is part of the special bond we have with our kids, a very heartwarming feeling!
I've also started letting my little one help with some simple cooking tasks - mainly measuring ingredients and mixing stuff together. Toddler-friendly recipes are a blast, and it teaches them about the food groups and portion sizes too. Plus, they get to enjoy their yummy creations afterward! Messy, sensory play like this is a great brain stimulator and develops their fine motor skills.
