Fun sensory activity

Here's a fun activity.  Take Easter eggs and put them in a container.  Put a few pieces of tape across the container.  Supply spoon, tongs, and soup ladle.  Keep the objects by you and ask your child, "which tool do you want to use this time"?  Have them point to the one they want.  Encourage use of the word, "oh, you want the tongs"  Repeat the word several times so they know what it is.  Then ask, "which color egg are you going to get this time"?  Have them point to the color they are after.  Name the color for them, "you are going to get the pink one, pink, I like pink too".  You could make it a direction following task also.  Pick up the spoon.  Try to get the purple one this time.   Have fun!!
