Age Range: 5 months to one year
I am thrilled about sharing creative activities I have implemented with my children. All of my creative ideas were lost in a haze from the time the twins were born until about 5 months.
At 5 months Bro-Bro and Ya-Ya were able to hold their heads up, but were not able to sit up by themselves. They loved grabbing things with their hands and putting them in their mouths (of course).
For this play activity, I used a shelf/cabinet organizer that we had stored in a closet and two infant seats. The shelf acted as a desk where I could place different toys for them to play with. The greatest thing about this play activity was its mobility. I could put them in the kitchen when I was cooking or we could go outside on a nice day. When they got a little bit older they realized they could move the shelf. I used strong tape to tape the shelf to the ground...which worked for a little while until they grew out of the activity.
Of course you can use this activity with one child as well. It was great fun for my twins! Please let me know what you think and how this activity has worked for you in the comments. If you would like to share a project idea, please use the Share a Project form.
