Go Fish! Sticky Fish!
This
is a great activity for those toddlers that like to get
their hands into everything. Take about 10 sticky notes
and draw a fish on 6 of them with a crayon. Then lay
each individual sticky note down on the floor or on a
table with the sticky side up. You'll want to show
your toddler how to play this game first before she does
it: Tell your toddler that you are going fishing and
then place your hand on top of one of the sticky notes.
It will stick to your palm. Then lift your hand up and
turn your hand over to show your toddler the note and
the picture of the fish on it. Then say "Wow! I just
caught a fish!" Do it again and when you get a blank
note, say "No fish there!" Now it's your toddler's turn.
You can do this again and again until the stickiness of
the notes runs out. ( Or when your toddler crumbles up
the paper enough!).
Supplies Needed-
- 10 sticky notes
- crayon
Tips/Suggestions-
- If your toddler seems more
interested in the sticky notes than playing the game
that's okay! Just talk about the feeling of the sticky
part, how the paper crumbles, and what colors she sees.
Or just let her watch you play the game and count the
fish. The next time you play this game she'll remember
how much fun you were having and will want to take part.
- For the older toddlers you can let them help to draw a
fish on the notes
- As your toddler catches the fish, count them too!
