Cut out some colour sponge and ask him to use a pair of chopsticks and separate them according to the colours.
Normally he'll request to do other things within seconds. But this one, he'll slowly pick them up and giggle when he drop the sponge. ( seriously I don't know what is so funny about that :P)
But he's enjoying himself. So it's okay. And see his other hand being raised quite high? Hahah cos his mom kept saying "Ahhhhhhh only use CHOPSTICKS! Don't use your fingers to hold it!"
And then we go for "Cuit Cuit" High 5 when he's done.
Cheap and good game. Just right for me.
cool game.
ReplyDeletenext ..add some difficulty. add water a little. so the sponge become a little weight.. n he will improve his chopstick skill also..
I have to agree with you on the part that at times we simply do not know what is so funny about the things that made them giggles but we find outselves echoing their laughter just by knowing the are happy...
