Spooning Marbles

While I’ve been busy getting the house organized I’ve had to come up with some activities to keep Lucas busy. His favorite activity at the moment is spooning marbles!
He was able to control the marbles much better from when we did this activity using rice a few weeks ago.
After Lucas spent some time spooning the marbles back and fourth between the bowls, I gave him an ice cube tray and we put one marble in to each section and counted them.
He lost interest almost instantly! and went back to the original activity.
 
I’ve noticed when I directly teach him things… like counting out the marbles, he wants no part of it. But if we are singing our finger counting song he will count to 10 no problem. What a little monkey!!!
