The other day I walked in on my little hippo pulling every single Kleenex out of the box. Every single one. She loved it. It was simple. And in her mind; never ending. However, it may not be the best use of Kleenex. So I made her her own Kleenex box that she can pull "Kleenex" out of over and over.
Materials;
Scrap material
Empty diaper wipe container
To assemble this activity I simply cut some scrap material into various rectangles and squares. I washed out the diaper wipe container and once it was dried, stuffed the multiple pieces of fabric in the container as though they were wipes/Kleenex!
This was a fun game that allowed my hippo to pull the fabric out, then shove it right back in. Best part; not only was it a game that allowed her to pull the fabric out, but we also practiced our vocabulary by saying "pulllll" while she pulled out a piece of fabric, or "out!", and "uh-oh" throughout our game of empty the Kleenex box.
When you're practicing vocabulary it's best to practice a word multiple times. Additionally when you're teaching a verb / action word (such as pull), it is best to teach the word while your little one is doing the action. This paired with repetition will have your little one learning new vocabulary in no time!
Like this idea? Let me know how your little one liked the Kleenex box game!
