In my Pink Week Tot School Post, I mentioned that one of Xander's trays was part of his button snake. I didn't go into much detail there, so I decided it needed its own post. One of Xander's Christmas presents this year was a "button snake." Basically, I took a piece of ribbon and sewed a big button to each end. Then I cut shapes out of different colors of fleece and made a slit in each one. The idea is to have him practice buttoning. I used the large variety of shapes and colors so that I can use it in a variety of ways in the future.
Right now Xander is only 14 months and cannot do the activity alone. What I have been doing is having him sit in my lap. I put the button part way through the hole and have him grab it to pull it through. He really likes this part, but doesn't really like taking them off, so I do that for him.
Love this! We made our own version of the button snake and have 'big' vs 'little' shape sizes to practice with my toddler. But I adore yours with all the colors and shapes and the rainbow!
