EASY DIY Color Sorting for Toddlers

So EASY to create and a total hit with my daughter!!  We've worked hard the basics since she doesn't go to Preschool!  She picked them up easily but now we need to practice, practice, practice!!!  I had picked up a bunch of these bins for random stuff around the house, and for some reason it was sitting on my counter empty!!  I would later realize that it had been holding the toys that I had JUST dumped out on the floor for her to play with...  oh wells!

Ok, if you have an X-Acto Knife, grab it!!  If NOT...  GET ONE!!  LOVE LOVE LOVE this thing!! Use it way more than I'm willing to admit!  Take X-Acto and press against lid and turn in circles until you have a hole big enough to fit a pipe cleaner through.

USE WHAT YOU HAVE!!!!!!  USE WHAT YOU HAVE!!!!!  Can't stress this enough!!  Got a pack of pipe cleaners, or whatever they're calling them these days in the $ Dollar Section $ at Target!  Cut them into smaller pieces so they'll fit down into the bin once pushed through hole!  Grab coordinating colors of constructions paper, you'll need like a 2 inch piece of each!  Cut paper into circle and punch hole in middle!  Hot glue cirlces on top of the hole in the bin's lid! 

DONE!!!  Give to Toddler and enjoy! 

Kept mine so busy that she got to the end and asked for MORE!!!  I ended up having to add 2 more colors to keep her going!  LOVED IT!!! 

Remember...

MAKE IT YOURS AND MAKE IT FUN!!!

Window Markers, Seriously? AWESOME!

OMG... have you seen Crayola Crystal Effects Window Markers yet??  They are AMAZING!!  If you have a sliding glass door or any reachable window for that matter, you can't live without these things!  In fact I'd probably say that you are depriving your child by not having them!


Packaging says "Colors Crystallize Like Ice", and sure enough they do!  It's the coolest thing ever to watch too. You, or your child if you're willing to share just draw on the glass and within a few seconds (sometimes a few minutes depending on Florida humidity) they start at one end and crystallizes until it reaches the other end! 


The packaging says 8 years + , website says 4 years + (Good Consistency!) but my 2 and a half year old has proven pretty competent!  I have yet to find them on the Ultrasuede couch located steps away. With that said, I will say I've seen a trial run done on the tile below the sliding glass door!  Rest assured... it wipes right off with a little window cleaner!  It also recommends a dry window and use in a dry climate, but I didn't let that stop me!  Not however a great rainy day lifesaver!


Go directly to the store and buy these!!!  Gave them as part of a Art Themed B-Day gift for a 2 year old, and got a text that night letting me know how much they loved them too!!!


Wal Mart link to check them out ; ) Ur Welcome!


Do it & MAKE IT FUN!!!
