We Made Velcro Boards

Recently my neighbor showed me a website (Montessori based) where this lady made some Velcro Boards for her kids. I thought the idea behind it was neat so I gathered all the materials up and we made one yesterday. They turned out really cute so I invited some other friends over today so they could make one for their little ones. Here's how it starts:

On a small piece of board, you stick on a strip of velcro (thanks husband for cutting these):

Then you pick out some colorful blocks, cups, balls, toys, etc. and stick some velcro to each item:

And then you have a Velcro Board:

I was able to get all the supplies together and laid out so that everyone was able to assemble a board quickly....you know toddlers don't stay in one place too long:

Parker seems to like his a lot. He takes each item off, looks at it, tastes it and then puts it back on the board. I have to hold the board so that he can pull the items off but soon he'll get the hang of it and be able to do it on his own.
