#ToddlerMilkChallenge
Happy Family sent me organic milk and cookies to throw a party with a challenge: create an activity for 12-24 month olds to help develop their quickly-growing brains! Micah is 22 months old, which means he is learning new words and concepts daily and his brain is growing than fastest ever. Toddlers make so many new connections on a daily basis that play and educational, interactive games are irreplaceable teaching tools.
Color Crazy Game
I’ve been emphasizing colors when I can with Micah lately, so I decided to make a game that centered around colors. Micah even “helped” me build it! We used pipe cleaners, empty egg cartons, and the fluffy little pom-pom balls you can do so much with! I threaded or glued a pipe cleaner of each color around 2 sections of the egg carton to make 6 different colored sections. Ready to play!
The goal is to get Micah to put the right colored pom in the right opening. He doesn’t. But, as he plays, he enjoys getting to choose which cubby to put each pom in, we talk about the colors, and I encourage him to make matches. Since making the game a week ago, he’s actually started saying pink, purple and blue! He doesn’t always give the right color the right name, but we are headed the right direction!
Happy Family Organic Milk and Cookies
The game was also a hit with his friends at the party, which we threw with his little church friends. About as big a hit as the cookies ! The Happy Family organic Chocolate Pumpkin cookies are delicious! And so perfect for fall! The kiddos gobbled them up. Even better, the Happy Family organic Toddler Milk includes DHA to help grow their precious little brains!

My sister’s kids love Happy Family products!! I would love to try them, too! I love that little game. Doesn’t have to be any thing fancy to teach children! They really soak everything up so fast! This game looks like it could entertain a kid for a good while! Thank you!

Cool game for little ones to learn with, I like it. I had never tried their products before but sounds great
Jennie says
That’s a fun game idea! I think my daughter would love it (she turned 2 in August.)

But great care must be exercised when working with it.
However most of them entail courses on campus, a fact that can be costly and
time-consuming for many students. 1) Engines: All
fresh water passages should be drained completely so no water
is left in the tank.
