Fun Activities For Toddlers

Our Weekly Rhythm: Planned Possibilities

Weekly Rhythm: Planned Possibilities is a new weekly post that is a review of our weekly activities. You will find lots of fun ideas for toddlers that you can do at home. We have characterised each day by something that happens on that day, this gives a predictable pattern for our week.

I posted have previously posted our weekly rhythm. The idea of having a rhythm comes from the works of Rudolf Steiner (a philosophy I loosely follow in my day-to-day life). The purpose of having a rhythm is to develop a sense of regularity to the day-to-day life of your child. Having a rhythm assists the development of confidence because your child 'knows' what's coming next.

I find that life is so much easier when Chook knows what's happening next. It is easier to talk with him about events because you only need to say "We go to the library after morning tea" or "After your bath, we get into our PJs and then it's time for Story Candle". This really helps his understanding that there is a process, that things don't just happen when you want them to happen. It is a good life lesson. The twins will naturally also benefit from having this in place.

Fun Activities for Toddlers

We're theming it up again. This week our theme is:

Birthdays

Monday is Story Day

We read this awesome picture board book Miss Spider's ABC. Lots of bright illustrations and Chook loved labelling the bugs throughout the story. What's it got to do with birthday's? The bugs are all planning a surprise birthday for Miss Spider! Click on the picture below and it will take you to a Scholastic site with further activities you can do.

Wednesday is Play Day

It was ANZAC Day today. Hubby and Gamer woke up really early and attended the dawn service. Gamer and I made ANZAC Biscuits while the littlies had their nap.

Friday is Discovery Day

Today was Gamer's 14th Birthday. During nap time I made Chocolate Cake

and organised the Birthday Exploration Box.

Saturday is Game Day

Gamer had his sleepover party with his friends today. More party games!

Sunday is Family Day

Today I am celebrating National Scrap Day with an afternoon of childfree scrapbooking at Scrappy Sisters. This little shop opened up around the corner from me at the end of last year. The owners are two family oriented ladies who put on awesome classes for kids and adults alike. My favourite class to attend is their once-a-month scrapbook all in. You turn up with your pages and sit around their huge work table, chatting to other scrapbookers, getting ideas and hopefully finish a page or two. Check out what Rach and Em created on their blog. So my friends, that is what I am up to today. Hubby's looking after the kids!

We're going to keep going with the Birthday theme next week, because it's my birthday on Tuesday! I have got some fantastic additions for the Birthday Exploration box. A new book to read and toddler craft. Look forward to sharing with you all next week!
