1. Puzzles - We brought out some puzzles meant for ages three and up, because Colton recognized some of the cartoon characters on them and wanted to play. I adjusted the puzzles for his age, though; for an opposites puzzle we just worked on identifying items, and I helped him with the tricky puzzles so that he could see the finished product. These were actually a big hit with him!
2. Taekwondo for Tots - So...this activity option is obviously available to us because my husband runs a martial arts academy. Colton and I have been there more lately to help Clint with work and so that Clint can give me a private lesson first thing in the morning. During that time, Colton loves to run on the mats, play with the balls, and practice his front kicks. It is great!
3. Halloween Party - The week before Halloween, my friend decided to throw a Halloween party for her son (who is Colton's friend and about his age) and some of her son's little friends. Colton dressed up in his Halloween costume (Superman) - he loved playing toys with his friends, decorating cookies (he really just ate the candy and left the sugar cookie alone), and playing a few Halloween games like "Make a Jack-O-Lantern Face" and "Tape the Hat on the Witch". The younger kids especially liked the "Find Prizes" game. My friend filled a box with popcorn (you could use just about any food), and then she hid little toys in the popcorn. The kids had to search in the popcorn for the toys. Colton loved it! Here are a few pics from the party.
