Mornings with Little Man
Mornings with my boy can be frustrating sometimes as he is so energetic, I always need to be around him to prevent him from getting hurt. That's why I have to find new activities to keep him occupied for a bit.
Today, we played with some wooden letter tiles and practiced holding the pencil...
At first, he seemed interested in using the pencil like a screwdriver and he tried to screw the little hole on the wooden letter tiles.
After I showed him how to actually use the tiles and I held his hand to try and draw a line and a circle, he tried to imitate my move.
He is still too young for me to expect him to hold the pencil the right way and concentrate on the activity for longer than a few minutes. For now it's more than enough of he gets the ide of how to draw a line. He already uses markers and tries to draw on his whiteboard, so moving to writing basics like lines will slowly get into our routine.
(In case you're interested, I bought the letter tiles from a big supermarket. They had it on sale and got the whole alphabet for less than 7€. It was a good deal considering the nice quality. I knew it's a little early to use such materials with Little Man, but educational toys and other material are never a waste of money.)

I can imagine how much effort you must make into looking out for little man regularly, there is a whole lot to motherhood, well-done sister and happy mother's day to you.
Mothers carry a lot on their shoulders, but the joys you get every day make any other burden feel as light as a feather...
It’s never to early to start. That’s a good price, they look solid. Before you know it he’ll be drawing on your walls with crayons and markers. Oops did I say that…..🤣
He already uses markers on his whiteboard AND hands and face 😂😂 I guess the rest of the house will soon follow 😂
Yep, been there done that. I made my daughter a table and chairs to color and paint on, the entire top was covered in marker, crayon and anything else she could get her hands on. Then she started on the wall it was next to. 🤣🤣🤣
As long as the activity is done with good cheer and encouragement, it is never too early to offer. Frustration is the only issue, and since you don't prod and press, the child will just have fun. Who knows what's going on in that little brain?😇 He takes from the activity what he wants and needs.
Have fun with him as he learns. That's the most important thing, I think.
Take care of yourself, @ruth-girl
Well, I put no pressure on him. I show him what he's supposed to do with the material and then he can do whatever he likes. In the end he just scattered the tiles on the table, felt bored and left to find something else to play with.
Many many hugs and kisses!! 🤗😘
