I was on the phone with my mom this morning explaining to her that Joe came down with croup, plus we got dumped on with snow again so we were going to have yet another entire day cooped up inside. Being the Montessori teacher that she is, she gave me some great suggestions of things to do to keep Owen busy.
Exhibit A: Cupcake tin, Pom poms, tongs
It started out promising. It was a little hard for him to use the tongs, but he gave it his best effort and then just opted for his hands.
It didn't take long however before there was an all out Pom Pom tornado in our basement. Owen got tired of carefully putting them in the tin and threw them by the handful all over the basement.
So maybe he's not the ideal Montessori student quite yet, but don't worry Grandma, we'll figure it out eventually. Thanks for the idea. :)
