The other activity I used was from a really nice site for toddler and preschool activities called www.prekinders.com. I found a fun activity
to teach patterns using conversation heart candies. She enjoyed placing
the candies on the correct colors and lining them up properly but the
pattern idea was a bit over her head. However, she did spend about 25
minutes participating in this activity so I say it was a success. She
was really excited when she realized that they were candy.

Quick & Easy Toddler Activities
I wanted a few fun activities for Lilly that don't involve super messy things like paint and shaving cream. While in the dollar tree I found a big bag of colorful puff balls and knew I could use them for multiple things. When I got home I pulled out an ice cube tray and a pair of tongs and told her to pick up the puff balls with the tongs and put them in the ice cube tray. She spent quite a while doing this activity and she really enjoyed herself. After she has mastered the tongs I will add new elements like putting specific colors in specific spots and transferring them from one container to another. Plus I can give her tweezers to make it more of a challenge. (I started with tweezers but she couldn't figure out how to use them properly.)
