This velcro and pompoms quick play idea for baby is a great idea to keep your older baby occupied for a while.
Some times(most of the times) you just have to keep baby play simple! Like with this activity with Velcro and Pompoms
. I’ve seen time and again that it is the simple things that interest babies: a cardboard box, a set of keys, rocks, spoons, lids and jars etc. (Also check out this toddler toy made from Bottle Tops and Velcro)
I took an off-cut piece of velcro and simply stuck it to the wall with sticky putty. Then, I took out the biggest pompoms we have and showed W(14months at the time) what to do once, and he had a go at it, and loved it!
One could variate colour and size. Another idea for older toddlers is to use a picture on the wall and then add the velcro on top of the picture, so they can “fill” in the picture. Something simple as a tree with blossoms, for example.
Tip: If you do not have velcro available, use clear contact paper/strip instead.
Remember although baby play can be simple and easy, learning still takes place! This Velcro and pompoms activity is also good to encourage a baby to stand up against the wall.
We’re all for keeping it simple! Great activity!
Ah, thanks Carolyn!
What a brilliant idea! It took 2 seconds to set up and both my 1 and 3 year old loved it! Thanks so much! 🙂
My pleasure! Glad it was a hit Victoria!
