Life Skills: Pouring

Materials used for our pouring activity:

1. small pitcher filled with water 1/2 or 3/4 full depending on how strong your kid is — it gets heavy
2. clear glass cup/mug
3. non-clear glass cup/mug (I used the cups from his toy tea set)
4. food coloring (optional)
5. spoon for stirring
6. tray to catch the spills

Caleb practiced pouring water into the clear glass first.
We started with so this so he could see how much water was going into the glass.

I let him pour water into the plastic cups after he was able to pour water that didn’t overflow. He still spilled some, but no worries. He had fun and learned at the same time 🙂 This activity consumed 15-20 minutes.

life skills : using a knife

Picture 178

I love to cook so it is only natural for Caleb to be in the kitchen. He uses his special plastic knife for cutting. One day, we will “graduate” him to a real knife. Hahaha! But he is quite handy with his plastic knife and can cut through most soft ingredients.
Someday my future daughter-in-law will thank me…You are welcome future daughter-in-law.
