Taste Test

Tasting activity to distinguish sweet, sour, bitter, and salty.
I used sugar, cocoa powder, calamansi (local lime), and salt for this activity.

Bitter.

Caleb didn’t like that one too much, he had to wipe the cocoa powder off his finger.

Salty. He loved the salt best of all.
No surprise there.
After all, his favorite food is bacon.

Sorting Animals

A level up version of the sorting activity.

I love how Caleb could read the word ZOO (it’s one of our sight word) all by himself 🙂 

He sorted the dinosaurs pretty fast.
The animals were trickier to sort (If you really think about it, all the animals could really be in the zoo).
Critical thinking test…

Caleb made animal sounds while sorting.
He would say to the animals, “You should be here.”
I guess he enjoyed pretending to be the zookeeper.
When he made a mistake, he would self-correct himself and say, “Oh sorry! This should be here.”
How did you become so smart?
Gotta love this kid 🙂

Bathroom Painting

Caleb loves to paint.
But sometimes, I think he is too neat.
So I encourage him to be a little messy…he is a boy after all! Lol! 😉

Messy doesn’t really have to be a pain.
Hate clean ups?
Paint in the bathroom/shower!
This way, it’s easier to clean up and your child can go wild painting the walls and in Caleb’s case — the bathroom floor too. 🙂
