May Activities in detail!

 - Planting flowers: I had him plant a seed just to show a plant eventually but we also did plastic flowers in pots too.

- Powder play: This was just a baking tray on which I sprinkled Johnson and Johnson powder generously so that we traced letters and shaped in it with our fingers.

- Go/ Stop with Box: Initially I let him sit in a cardboard box and I pushed him around when he'd say Go! Then we put a soft toy into the box for him to push it around.

- For Song jar I use a set of pictures to imitate actions of for 'If you're happy and you know it'.

- Painter's tape and food: We have some pretend play items that I taped onto the play mat for him to find and uncover.

- For Mother's day there is  a beautiful Malayalam poem that we recited together and also made a hand print card.

- Sponge painting: Tie a band in the middle of the sponge and paint on it generously so that kids can pat it down on paper to print out a butterfly!

- Straw bubbles: We used juice and soda mix for this because I wasn't sure he would not drink. 

- Pair socks: We stick to 4 pairs of socks mixed together for him to pick matching patterns/colors.

- Counting game with dice: Toss the dice and jump/hop the number of times the dice says! We took turns too.

- Scissors craft: We cut a flower out of paper, picture in the gallery. He only had to cut straight lines along a drawn pattern.

- Crayons: We tried imitating lines like I, L, +, and O.

- Button play was to try unbutton a large shirt I made a teddy wear and so "rescue" it. Was tough though!

- For opposites game we tried an opposites song and laid out a few big and small (cars), tall and short (bottles) of the same object to label and pick.

- Under/ between/ on: I taped letters on to plastic animals and chairs so that he could search under/between/on them.

- Hop and Jump games was basically obstacle course with pillows that we took turns with.

- What color is it- we did an 'I spy version' for colors.

- Bubble wrap art: I stuck bubble wrap around a bottle and put some color on it so that he could roll it back and forth, up and down on paper. The darker color will dominate but he had fun!

- Hop in the grocery bag was literally that, we took turns hopping standing in a grocery bag. Safe if you do it slow!

- Salt craft: I drew a butterfly in glue and we spread some salt on it. I gave him a little pink salt so that part he enjoyed. I had seen a video of then dabbing the salt in color but that didn't turn out as expected, maybe we should wait after it dries.

- Ball and cardboard: I just cut out a small circle in the middle of a cardboard box for him to try get a ball through the hole. Picture attached in gallery.
