Bottle Top Fish

With the extra bottle tops I had, I drew fish on them and floated them in a bowl. I gave B a spoon with holes in it and he transferred them to another container. He also tried to transfer them with salad tongs. (Both ideas are great for motor skill developement!)

Then, I turned it into a listening activity by asking him things like, "Can you scoop out the top that has 2 fish on it?" or "Can you scoop out the mad fish?".

After we were done, B had a great time pretending he was making soup.

    That is a GREAT idea. So simple, yet I bet it would be so much fun for the kids.

    I had my friends start collecting them for me! =) There's NO way I could have done it by myself. I promised them I would make some games for their child if they collected for me.
