Here comes an activity which got added recently to LO's favorites list. All you need for this is a package box, preferably in square shape and some markers. A super activity to teach toddlers alphabets, shape recognition and sorting.
Our activity is not complete without Alphabets, so obviously I started with writing uppercase alphas on one side. This is to go with the magnetic uppercase alphas we have. LO had immense fun in finding the alphas and matching over it.
The second face was a kinda shape sorting. We have a wooden block set which I thought to tie up with this activity box. So I etched out shapes on the box that will fit the wooden blocks in. LO loved this game of dropping the blocks in the right holes and picking them back from inside. You need to leave the box open on one side, of course to collect the blocks.

On the third face I traced out a structure with the wooden blocks, so that LO can build on it. He tried his level best to complete the castle!
The fourth face was again a shape sorting but for different set of shapes blocks.
This activity box is so simple to make and will hold the kids busy for quiet long time. This also enhances kids' hand-eye coordination. Customize the activity box that would fit to your kids interest and available toys.
This video was taken when LO was 19 months old.
Happy Parenting!😊
