My New Favorite Activity

Taylor is 4 1/2 yo and is just now transitioning out of naps. And I am transitioning into not having those 2 hours where both kids are asleep. So I've been looking for some fun quiet things he can do- specifically fine motor skills. And I found the perfect thing!I love them. He loves them and defiantly uses his fine motor skills. It's a win win. He spent the better half one afternoon and evening making the tow truck. He places the tiny beads on a peg board with the colored pattern underneath. I iron it and it becomes one piece. Then it provides more countless hours of entertainment. He's all ready to do the next one. Now if I can only get him to hold off and do it only during Quiet Time.
You can find them at JoAnns or Michaels for about $8-$9.

My kids love those too, but I usually don't iron them so they end up in the bucket and can redo the next time. Endless fun, endless toy. And no need to buy more.

Those were a big hit with my kids too but I haven't had them in a while and what a great idea for quiet time. That should keep Grace in her room! Thanks for the idea!
