Benjamin Bowling

We have been going a little stir crazy with the weather being so cold lately that we have been trying to come up with different games to play with and different activities to do. Well we broke out baby bowling. Benjamin devised a new way to play the game. Line them up along the wall and hold onto the ball and say "roll" as you are knocking them down. He would play for hours like this; setting them up and knocking them down, setting them up and knocking them down, etc. He also liked to tell us the colors of the pins and what animal each one was. He would then connect color and animal. We are working on teaching him to count them. He can count beyond ten but we are trying to work on how many the respective number is. He understands one and two but we are working on the others.
