Name:

Infant Activity of the Day...

I thought I would share. I am a member of an in home daycare forum now and they post these daily.



See Through Shake Toys

Materials:
Small plastic soft drink bottles with screw tops
Hot glue gun or super glue
Interesting objects to put inside such as buttons, colored sand, beads, small
pompoms

To Make:
Soak off labels in soapy water.
Put one or more interesting materials inside.
Glue top on bottle securely.

To Do:
Place one or more of these near the child.

Observations:
Does she pick them up?
Does she notice the objects move and make noise inside the bottles?
Does she shake the bottles to repeat the effect?

More Ideas:
Use all types of safe containers, such as plastic bottles of varying shapes, tin
coffee and tea boxes, empty spice boxes.
Collect many containers and put them in a large box. Let the child reach in and
choose the ones she wants to play with.

Emerging Skill:
The child explores cause and effect. This is also a sensory experience
