Post-It Path Finder

Steps:

Place a long strip of masking tape on a clear floor area to create a straight ‘tightrope’ path.
Stick several colorful Post-Its on the wall at your child’s eye level along the length of the tape path.
Ask your child to stand at the start of the tape line and hold a single block with both hands.
Challenge your child to walk slowly along the tape line without letting their feet step off the sticky path.
While they are walking, call out a color that matches one of the Post-Its on the wall.
Your child must find the matching color with their eyes and point to it with one hand without stopping their walk.
Repeat the process until they reach the end of the line, calling out different colors as they go.

Safety Tip:
Always ensure the floor is clear of toys and that the walking path is a safe distance away from sharp furniture corners.

Vertical Post-It Peek-a-Boo

Steps:

Use masking tape to secure the cardboard vertically to a wall.
Make sure it is at your child’s chest or eye level.
Draw five large, bright shapes on the cardboard using your markers.
Write a different number inside each shape from 1 to 5.
Cover each shape completely with a single Post-It note.
Ask your child to reach up and peel a note to find a shape.
Challenge them to find a specific number you call out!
Have them stick the peeled notes onto their clothes for extra fun.

Safety Tip:
Choking Hazard. This activity uses Post-Its and masking tape. Small pieces of paper or tape can be a choking hazard. Always supervise your child closely. Ensure they do not put these materials in their mouth.

Size Triangles

The purpose of this activity is to promote fine motor skills and visual motor skills. You can use Post-Its, paper, newspaper, or construction paper to complete this activity.

Preparation:

Step 1: Have the child fold a Post-It, corner to corner to create the “big triangle.”
Step 2: Have the child complete step 1 two times to create the “medium triangle.”
Step 3: Have the child complete step 1 three times to create the “small triangle.”

To increase the challenge, have the child accurately aim to match the corner to corner & press down on each fold as much as they can.
