Easel

Levi's new easel! Thanks to craigslist! It folds easily so we store it behind the door. The other side is a chalkboard.
I have been giving him two different colors of paint, so Levi can see what happens when colors are mixed. Painting, and drawing on a vertical surface helps develop wrist strength and coordination needed for learning to write.

Paint Chip Cutting

Here is another cutting activity, which you can also extend into color learning!

Levi picked out some paint strips, they have white lines, and the stiff paper makes it easy to handle to cut. Levi cut the paint chips out, and then we tried to put them back in the right order from light to dark.

It helps to have 2 of the same paint strip for this, to act as a control of error to check that you got them in the right order!

Pattern Blocks

Here Levi is working on his pattern block activity. He is contained to his little rug (I love our new bamboo floor!)
