As you may have noticed, I have no posts on Vito for a quite a while. It's quite difficult to put up activities for him for the past weeks as all he ever wanted was to play with big brother Mavi. The only thing that I'm consistent with him is the reading of books.
.
There were occassions wherein I would introduce an activity or we would play together randomly, but that's just about it. I find it refreshing though, of not thinking too much for the boys, of what they're going to do this summer.
Anyway, it's been raining for the past few days and we're stuck at home. Vito is turning 21 months in a few days and has entered the "sensitive years". He has memorized Dr. Seuss ABC books, obsessed with identifying objects, learned a few dance moves through Horrible Histories and can't stop counting whenever he sees a number. So I decided to organize a few materials for him to work on during the time big brother is in summer camp.

The knobbless cylinders is a current favourite, he loves stacking them every single day. It’s the first material he would remove from the shelf to work on.
He loves using the bristle blocks as well! This is a nice open ended toy, that also helps in the sensorial development of the child.
He enjoys touching the bristles!
Sorry about the letter B (Munchkin 36 Bath Letters and Numbers), Vito loves to bite it! We used the foam letters in so many ways, just like when we read books, I would present it to him whenever we encounter a certain letter.
And he recently learned how to match the letters! I made these outline cards for matching activity and I was surprised that he can actually match them!
These soft blocks are totally awesome! We’ve been using it since he was a baby, and right now it is being used for stacking activities, counting and for sensorial, as there are impressions on the sides that Vito loves to touch.
