I read about this Outline Mat idea on FUNdamentals. I traced random objects that I found in the playroom and then had B put the objects in the outline like a puzzle.
B had such a great time! He was working on it over and over again so I made another one. Then, I traced a few coins. He was less interested in that one.
I really appreciate how fast this activity was to throw together. Next time, I’ll have B hunt for the objects and then trace them. You can laminate these mats or just do them on paper like I did so they can be recycled and a new one made.

Love this also. As you can probably tell I am just now catching up on my blog reading.

I thought I had left a comment for this great idea, evidently not. I think my little girl would love this activity and I love that you could make it theme based, nature based and that it is versatile. Thank you for sharing and I am keen to try this out - we will link back to your inspiring blog when we do this activity.

I was just making my christmas/birthday lists and need some advice. Son #1 will be 3 and son #2 will be 16months at Christmas. I want to mostly get them learning toys or books. I would LOVE, LOve, LoVe you to do a post or just email what you think some of the "must-have" gifts would be. Thankscrystalboom at hotmail dot com
