Gone Fishing


Gone Fishing
Practice coordination, color naming and counting with some good old bathtub fun or in a bucket!  Use a fishing hook made from fuzzy strings or a basket cup to scoop up and name the color.  Make it more interesting by hiding the caps with bubbles!

Wall Art

Wall Art
Stick it!  Using contact paper held to the wall with scotch tape, create your art masterpiece with colorful caps, painted lolly sticks, and anything your little one imagines.  If he is young, create it yourself and let him un-stick the caps and explore the texture of the wall!
