Here’s a very successful activity I did with J when he was only 14 months old.
It was really simple. I filled on container with rice and blue beads. I sat another empty container next to the full one. I gave him a measuring spoon and cup to transfer the rice from the full dish into the empty one.
I was a bit worried about him eating the rice so I stayed near by. However, he was too interested in the rice to put it in his mouth!
I can’t remember how long he played with it, but I do remember his smiles and laughter while he was playing!
Have you introduced rice play with your kids yet?
How fun! I posted about our 🙂Rice Play Fun here!
I need to do this with my toddler (and preschooler). They both would get a kick out of it!
