Lucas' hands

finding those fingers, captured on video.





(FYI, those quarters are now back in their special spot away from brother. Looks like we need to baby proof again (for Lucas) .....
It seems that Caleb is really into manipulating small objects. For example, he takes off the nobs from the patio furniture or from his bedroom furniture, he loves the little magnet set in our room, and fiddles around with the gadgets on his toy lawn mower. Twisting things such as tops of containers, water bottles, etc are especially fascinating. And his favorite...buckles. Buckles on his high-chair he can close and a buckle in one of his books he can close. So if anyone has any 'toy' ideas that help him use those fine motors with house hold objects...send them my way!

  1. how about getting out all the pots and lids, letting him put the correct size on each pot? or the same thing with storage containers.

  2. do you have a money bank? he likes coins so have him put them in the slot, try counting as he puts them in. also can sort by size, color, type of coin ( this higher level function so may not be able to do) can also sort types of noodles, placing them in plastic containers, counting as he gets better.
