Peanut Butter Patterns

I love activities that I can easily adapt to fit both of my kids developmental needs. Austin and Brooklyn were equally engaged and excited, and even though they were doing the same activity, they were working on two different things! ⠀

⠀
💜 I spread a thin layer of peanut butter on graham crackers for both kids. I also set out a plate of Cheerios, cut up strawberries, raisins, and mini marshmallows. ⠀
⠀
Austin (5) worked on peanut butter patterns. I started two patterns (abc and aab) using the food items on one graham cracker and he finished them. He used the second graham cracker to “help Brooklyn” by making columns of each food item. You could also have your child create their own patterns! ⠀
⠀
Brooklyn (2.5) worked on her sorting and fine motor skills. I started a column for each item on her graham cracker and let her finish them. ⠀
⠀
After decorating the graham crackers, we enjoyed them for a snack. I got some bonus points because we normally don’t have marshmallows at snack time so both kids thought it was super special. Also, who knew that Cheerios on peanut butter on graham crackers is so good? Like really good!😉⠀
