My sister sent my little ones these adorable bento box picks. They are just so cute! They made snack time extra fun! She also uses them for lunch time in those cute little plates for poaching eggs. They make great compartments for little diced up food.

Beginning Sounds Balloon Game
You will need: two ballons, a sharpie, minimal artistic skills
Blow up two balloons. One one write letters, and on the other draw pictures of things that start with that letter sound.
To play throw the balloon with the letters up in the air and have your little one catch it. Have him choose a letter he is touching when he catches it and tell you what sound the letter makes. Then throw the second balloon with the drawings and have him find the object that begins with that letter sound. We began with letter A-I and then gradually added more letters and drawings.
This was a great activity for my active boy. He wanted to keep playing and playing!

Little Pintesters: Junk Match Busy Bag
We love Pinterest! I recently pinned THIS activity and threw it together in less than five minutes with stuff I had lying around the house.
They're called Junk Match bags. You pretty much grab an assortment of small objects you have around your house, trace them on cardstock and put them all in a gallon ziploc bag. That's it! Easy! Then have your little ones match the object to its outline.

Outline all the random objects |
Place them in a large ziploc bag. You may need to trim the cardstock a little bit to make it fit. |

Falling Leaves ABC Game
You will need:
Construction Paper
Scissors
marker
Basket
I made 26 leaves by cutting construction paper and wrote upper and lower case letters on each leaf. Then I gave them to my little one and had him throw the leaves and high as he could. He loved that part! He then made sure all the letters were facing up. I would call out a letter and he would put it in our little basket. Then we would talk about what words began with that letter sound. Great game for letter recognition and sound recognition.
