Baby Explorers is the program I run for infants and toddlers 0-36 months, where we use activities, crafts, and early science experiments to explore the world around us. I try to include 4 activities per session: gross motor, fine motor, create (a craft or take home activity), and explore (a sensory activity). Here's what we were up to this month:
Explore: Spaghetti pool! This is one of my favorite Baby Explorer activities and perfect for the summer (when we can be outside to minimize mess). Families are encouraged to take off their shoes and squish around.
Create: Thumbprint art- Bigger toddlers could create pictures using their thumbprints while younger babies could play with the inkpads and paper or adults could help them create their art.
Gross and Fine Motor: Sensory walkway- Using foam floor tiles and an assortment of knick knacks (sponges, giant pipe cleaners, pom poms, etc.) we used our hands and bodies to feel different textures and see different colors. This activity was very cheap to create and was a huge hit!
