Button Sorting
My one year old loves to play with buttons and they are easy to collect. Look through all those old bags of clothes.
Be sure to supervise this activity as it can be a choking hazard.

Baggie Books
Encourage your child's pre-reading skills with this fun activity.
You will need:
4-5 self-closing, quart-size plastic bags
A stapler
Tape
Manila folders, empty cereal boxes, or cardboard
Pictures from magazines or your family album
Put the bags together lining up the edges. Staple or tape the bottoms of the bags together leaving the openings free. If using staples cover the staples with tape for safety. Cut the manila folders, cereal box, or cardboard into squares that will fit into the baggies. Help your child find pictures he/she finds interesting and glue them to the squares. Make captions for the pictures and slide them into the baggies. Yay, a homemade book for your little one to enjoy!
