Stacking cups

Stacking cups can keep the little one busy for a long time! Little Andrew started playing with them since he was 1.5 years old. In the beginning it didn't make sense to him and he was just literally playing the cups. It didn't take him too long to figure out how the stacking cups work.

Now that he is 2 years old, he is already the master of it! And fortunate for us, he still likes to play with it after 6 months.

I do think stacking cups is one of the good old fashion toys that will never grow old.

Wooden puzzles

On and off I let Little Andrew working on these wooden puzzles.

The one of the left comes in 5 sets. He is already quite an expert on the "shape" set and so now moving into the "animal" set. He couldn't get it done at all when we first started. so I let him work on the shape first. Now that he is bigger, I decided to give the animal ones a try. He wasn't sure on day 1 how to do it. but on day 2, he could so it by himself! Wonderful! I showed him that it's about matching the same animals and I hope he got what I said.

Then the one on the right, it has 5 cylinder shapes in a block. Each puzzle has different sizes and length. He could do 4 of them and there is this last one that is of same shape but different length. He can't seems to get the idea. He did got it right once the other day but I suspect that was by luck because after that he couldn't do it again. Will just gotta keep working on this one.

It's not easy trying to occupy the little one's time at home with all sorts of activities. He got so much energy! As much as I would love to keep him busy with activities and not just watching TV or YouTube, the temptations are ever presence at home. And people tend to give in to his request all the time!!!! I just gotta work harder in keeping him away from these temptations. Oh and the good thing is he knows that I will not give in to him easily so he won't ask me to switch it on!
