Easy Truck Play

Anything that has to do with trucks will occupy Big C for hours. In the morning, it is so easy to just turn on the TV to keep the kids "busy." By giving Big C a kitchen container, pasta/rice/beans and a dump truck we now have a simple, easy to clean indoor construction site. Best of all it's morning fun while mommy can enjoy her cup of coffee:)

Literacy and Math with Peter Rabbit

There is a book titled, "Peter Rabbit: Rainbow, Shapes and Colours" by Frederick Warne that is great for teaching literacy and math.

I read this book to my nine month old and three year old who both love the colours, shapes and simple words.

I created a simple puzzle by cutting out the shapes with corresponding colours to match the book's pages using felt. You can use whatever you have at home: construction paper, foam etc.

Big C loved turning the pages and finding the matching shape for each colour.
