My 2 year old loves playing with magnets, he moves them between the fridge and the dishwasher and washing machine while I’m tidying the kitchen / making dinner etc, and we talk about the letters, numbers, colours and shapes.
Such a simple thing that actually involves very little parental input and can easily be done while you’re doing something else.
Playing with your child doesn’t have to be a big deal - and it isn’t here because we’re always playing one way or another, or he plays while I’m tidying or whatever - but it’s always a big deal there because they don’t play with Ronnie unless it’s for show, and he doesn’t know how to play by himself, which is heartbreaking.
My boy also loves playing with pens but he knows that we don’t draw on any part of the house!! Stupid confusing mixed messages.
