I bring Caleb to the supermarket with me every week. I think its high time he gets his own list of things to buy. This is a great application for reading, counting, and matching real objects to pictures.
When we arrived at the supermarket, I gave Caleb the list. He was able to “read” it easily and was happy to see that there was broccoli on the list (this is his favorite vegetable).
As we made our way to the fruit and vegetable aisle, Caleb picked up a couple of things on his own. When we reached the fruit and vegetable section, he got so excited to complete his list!
He crossed out the items that he already put in his cart.
Caleb got all the things on his list pretty fast. He was so proud that he could “read” his list all by himself. I should add more items to his list next week!

Nuts and Bolts
Look at what we found in Dada’s toolbox! I explained what these were for – kept things together. Then, we went all around the house inspecting furniture, fixtures, and appliances looking for where these were being used.
Of course, I couldn’t keep Caleb away from the nuts and bolts for long! He started to put them together. This was a great way to practice those little fingers 🙂
Concentrating 🙂
All done!
Sensory Play: Colored Sand
I bought three kilos of colored sand from the garden center for Caleb to play with. It is sold by the kilo and comes in many colors and (grain) sizes.
Caleb enjoyed playing with the sand so much that he didn’t mind eating lunch (mealtimes are not his favorite times of the day). I fed him lunch while playing. Thank you colored sand, for making lunchtime easier!
Personal sandbox.
Yeah! 🙂
