Mar. 11, 2008 - Simon School
Trying to keep a toddler busy and engaged during school can be a challenge. I want to give Simon activities that will help him discover his world and build his brain.
So, last week, we tried beans and rice. Instead of giving him a tub of beans and rice to play with, I put him in the tub! It was a great success, and he happily dumped, poured, scooped, measured, and stirred for almost two hours!
If you are scared of the mess, put a sheet under the tub. When your toddler is done, fold up the sheet and dump the escaped items back in to the tub.
Happy Times With Your Toddler,

You might check noses after activities like that. :)
I was teaching a class for littles years ago and one of the littles took a bean and shoved it right up her nose. It became stuck and was quite an ordeal, her mother was not happy with me. But she could have just been a nose person, right?
