[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 20 month old crafting lmao [/quote] I wouldn’t laugh. Play dough, finger painting, dot markers, gluing Pom poms on paper, stamps, making hand puppets would all be developmentally appropriate arts and crafts. These things develop fine motor skills that will be used for cutting and coloring which eventually leads to writing. [/quote] I was a SAHM until my youngest was in 2nd grade. They had play dough and I made each an "activity" pillow that they could button and unbottom, zipper, snaps, hooks and eye, Velcro. They played with these for hours. Their fine motor skills were well developed. All three were honor roll students. Children do not need to play all day not do they need to be engaged every moment of every minute. Give them time to explore and entertain themselves. Some of you are just plain nuts![/quote]
