So every time My Munchkin sees her wet wipes box, she opens it and starts pulling out the wipes one at a time. She does the same with the tissue box, climbs on to the dinning table and pulls out the tissues from the tissue box. Keeping in mind she enjoys pulling things out from a box, I made a DIY activity for her to do.
The supplies used:
1)An empty facial tissue box
2)Three scarves (not too big)
That’s all. Just these two things and her activity was ready.
I pushed the scarf into the box, towards the end, folded in the second scarf and pushed that in too and did the same with the third scarf. This went on to her shelf for her to use.
It was definitely something she enjoyed as she could pull out the scarves (and try to put it back in) as much as she wanted. This has also reduced her urge to pull out the wet wipes or tissue paper from their respective boxes to a great extent.
Age: Around 16 to 18 months (or as needed)
Purpose: Fulfilling an urge I noticed
We need to observe to see what our children are interested in doing and try to give them opportunities to fulfill these urges. I tried to do this for My Munchkin with this easy peasy DIY.
Have you made any DIYs for your Munchkin?
