Activities with a 3 yr old!

Being that Kydan is an only child he doesn't have any siblings to keep him occupied during the day...and I am not the most social person in the world so some days Kydan ends up watching TV way more than he should be. Thankfully, we were able to afford to send him to PK3 this year two days a week! So happy that he will be around children his own age and I hope he makes a connection with one or two :)
Kydan LOVES to help with everything from mowing the grass (I let him help me push the mower), to helping me bake. To help keep my VERY active boy from being bored these are just a couple of things we have done recently.

this is Gary and Kydan making a bird feeder out of a pine cone, peanut butter, and seeds.

Ok so I still don't know how to flip pictures on here so if anyone knows how, please let me know how you do it!

Here is Kydan eating a banana we covered in peanut butter and dipped in sprinkles. We used a cake pop stick for him to hold it so he wouldn't get too messy.

Here he was learning how to cut. The shapes he cut out he would then glue onto a piece of paper. Thought this was a nice activity in helping him learn how to cut and paste.

Learning the color red! They are learning the color red at school this month so I thought I would continue the learning at home on the days he doesn't have school. My son LOVES to pile things. He never really plays with toys, he just piles them in random places around the house. He has been doing this from the time he started walking. So added that to his learning process. I had him find objects that were red and then run to place it in the pile. Another incentive...at the end we would count how many items he found and he would get an M&M for each object he found. He found 8 red items!
