Indoor Activity For Kids:

Shape match post it note activity

This activity is easy enough for younger kids to do, since shape matching is not that difficult.

Plus it’s a great activity for me because it uses items that I have in the house, plus it is a great way to use up old paper shopping bags (I use them instead of butchers paper).

This activity is inspired by ideas from Shape match post it note activity.

This activity is great to teach your kids:

Hand eye coordination activities help kids use their hands (and muscles) and eyes at the same time. When the two work together, young children begin to increase their ability to pick up, grasp, and manipulate objects.

Cognitive activities is educational play and is vital for your toddler's cognitive development – that is, your child's ability to think, understand, communicate, make memories, imagine and work out what might happen next.

Fine motor skills involve movement of the smaller muscle groups in your child's hands, fingers, and wrists.

Developing fine motor skills will help your child to write and prepares her for school. But it will also help your children with everyday tasks like eating, and dressing themselves.

Literacy includes reading, writing, and speaking. It is the basis of any child’s learning.

Literacy skills can be taught from baby age with playful games and activities, and continues to be taught at school age where literacy instruction is more formal than just play.

Step 1

Take butchers paper (or paper shopping bags) and draw different shapes on them, the size of a post it note

Step 2

Draw the same shapes on your post it notes and stick to the wall

Step 3

Let your kids match the shapes on the post it notes to the shapes on the paper

This is basically the milk and cookies of toddler activities and I LOVE IT (about as much as my toddler loved shape matching!).
