We play… hanging the washing! It’s never too early to teach a useful skill after all 🙂
I remember how much the children in child care loved pegging and bought these small wooden pegs a little while ago to make a pegging game for Immy. I had grand plans to make some felt clothes but they haven’t quite come to fruition just yet (LOL!) so I thought I would just start with pegging up dolls clothes. The clothes line is a small box with a long length of elastic threaded through some holes. We do have an adult sized portable clothesline but it is a bit tall for Immy and I figured with learning to peg, it was more important to concentrate on the fine motor skills involved without also trying to balance and reach.
Needless to say, our pegging is a hit!
