This is an activity that Caleb likes to play while he’s eating.
Just fill a bowl with water and add Calamansi. The old Calamansi will float while the new ones sink to the bottom.
Caleb used tongs to move them to a different container. It’s a simple tong activity just made more fun with water 🙂
It’s wonderful practice to strengthen the same muscles needed to hold a pencil 🙂
Here Caleb used a different tong to make it more challenging.
Lunch was over really fast and that made Caleb a happy boy 🙂

Counting Game
I have to be creative in counting activities to keep Caleb’s attention. This is a counting game that we like to play.
Materials:
1. Counting cards
2. Number line for each player
3. Counters (we used pompoms and glass stones)
How to play:
1. Put the counting cards face down. Players take turns getting a counting card and counts the dots on the cards.
2. Then, the player puts the corresponding number of stones on the number line to match the number on the counting card.
3. The winner will be the player who reaches the end of the number line first.
Egg Bombs
My family loves to eat eggs! Normally, I throw away the eggshells. But instead of heading straight for the trash, I decided to keep these for Caleb to play with. It took me two weeks to collect all the eggshells and I found this wonderful recipe for making wet chalk on the net.
For the recipe I used:
Two cups of water
1/2 cup cornstarch
Food coloring
Caleb helped me stir the water and cornstarch together.
We poured the mixture into little bowls and added one drop of food coloring.
We funneled them into the eggs.
All set for some egg bomb action!!!
Caleb threw the egg bombs on the driveway.
And stomped on the eggshells that didn’t break.
Here’s the egg splat art that resulted before Caleb hosed it all away.
