Sorting pompoms

This is an extremely easy activity to carry out with your tot and my little gal just kept doing it over and over again! πŸ˜› After awhile, she got so engaged in the activity, she didn’t even notice I went to the kitchen to cook our lunch! haha….

Here’s what you need:

  • a set of colourful pompoms
  • a container to hold the pompoms
  • several small containers for the sorting (I used those little disposable ‘plates’ we place our sauces in for this activity)
Almost done with sorting…

—————————————–
After I bought the first batch of pompoms, I kinda fell in love with them and when I saw a very pretty set at Daiso, I just had to buy it… πŸ˜›

These aren’t so suitable for tonging though due to their design; works well for a sorting sensory game since they are well, furry/ prickly. The red ones (can’t be seen in the photo) in particular look like mini rambutans… hee. Tell me you love these too! πŸ˜›

Orange juice, anyone?

*Activity conducted on 27 Oct*


I actually wanted to juice an orange the other day to make the orange juice sauce for her cod for her lunch. Then I thought, why not just get her to juice the orange with me? πŸ˜›

It turned out that she really enjoyed herself – but mainly in the drinking bit rather than the squeezing. LOL.

Here’s what you need:

  • a small juicer
  • a bowl to place the juicer on (mine came as a set)
  • an orange, halved

squeeze!!!!
Checking out the juice and pulp
This was when she got distracted and started to eat the pulp
hmm, wonder if it’s nice…
MMMPH! Yes!
Her fav part of the activity: drinking the juice
Not much left… πŸ™
No more! πŸ™
