| Not sure what the official title of this is, but Alannah Jane took to it yesterday with alacrity. She barely needed any 'showing': 'Alannah can do it, Ma; Alannah can do it!' She perhaps needed encouragement to whack harder with the hammer, however, she used a clenched fist when she thought the hammer too slow! I guess she concentrated solidly for nigh on thirty minutes on this one activity. The table covering was new, too, and that whacked her eyeballs out to begin with! |

| We have lots of indoor activities before we go outside to jump, throw, climb steps, and play with sand. We used to 'sort' a lot but that is by-the-way now. In the dining room there are two tables on which we do: colouring-in; play-dough; and, Cuisenaire Rods. This week, I introduced Rummikub and Draughts. There are so many skills covered by simple games like this: NOT scattering everything on the floor is not the least of them! I am also partial to the card packs put out by Usborne in the UK, although the temptation to use them as flashcards can overwhelm too early. I have an old box of 'Guess Who' which I will update. I think it is a game that Alannah will adore. |
