Shape Jump and Sort

Today's activity was inspired by a couple of blog posts I found through Pinterest. Here and here. 

We made a few different shapes out of painter's tape on our floor and then Erik practiced following directions as he ran or jumped or crawled to the different shapes.

 When he got tired of that, we went on a shape hunt around our house for items that were the same shape as the outlines on our floor.

 We had a lot of fun with this one and it kept Erik busy for a few days, although I didn't want to have any trouble getting the tape off the carpet so we didn't leave it on for as long as Erik would've liked. This is a great way to practice following directions, as well as to learn his shapes.
