Hammertime!
This is a
great activity for those toddlers that have the endless
supply of energy. Find a big couch pillow or just an
ordinary bed pillow. Then take some stickers and let
your toddler put them on the pillow. Now locate your
child's plastic toy hammer and let your child hit the
stickers on the pillow to help get them to stick better.
You can say..."Hey Caitlin, try to hit that red flower
sticker with the hammer. " or " Great job, Aiden, you
really hit that blue circle sticker hard!" . If you have
alphabet stickers, it's a great way to introduce new
letters or review old ones.
Supplies
Needed:
- Pillow
-
Plastic child's toy hammer
- Stickers
Tips/Suggestions:
-If
you don't have a plastic toy hammer, you can always use
a wooden spoon or some other item that could work.
- If your child starts to hit other things with the
hammer, now is a good time to teach him that he is not
supposed to his furniture, walls or people with the
hammer.
