(Goblin is 28 months)
alphabet floor puzzle. I laid out three letter squares at a time and asked Goblin if he could identify one of the letters. He managed to recognise a W when it was beside a Z and a Y, but he couldn't do any of the others. I was surprised he didn't get the M because I thought that was one he recognised.
Finally we went round the room and found objects and then put them on the right letter. OK let me rephrase that, I put the object on the right letter, Goblin told me what the object was, then Goblin took it off the right letter and played with the object - Combine Harvester, Horse, Tractor, Bin Lorry etc.tips on coping with messy play and test myself with my play material nemesis - Shaving foam. Goblin was already covered in chocolate from an ice cream he'd tried and failed to eat earlier, so I figured we'd play in the bath and then I could just shower everything down.
