My Body

I've started more directed play with the Bug though it's still self guided. I set up a shelf with several themed activities (that focus on different skills such as gross motor, fine motor, early math, discovery/science, music, and language)

This week's theme has been 'Body Parts' and the Bug has enjoyed playing doctor to help learn! He loves giving shots...

We did several sensory table activities with pictures of body parts. Parts of the head and face were hidden in rice (not pictured)

And other body parts were hidden in oats! 

The Bug tried matching the pictures with his own body parts (pretty sure this picture is an arm...) he can identify parts if we say the word though not all of them. 

These were his two favorite books and he had fun playing with Mr. Potato Head and making faces using eyes, noses, and mouth we cut out of pictures! It was a fun week of learning about our bodies!
