In reply to Krysta. Oh, I love our knives! But it's good to know that Toys R Us has a good alternative for those who want to quickly run to the store or pick something up on a shopping trip and not order them online! Thanks for sharing :)

Love this! I have always had issues on how to do “inviting” activities! But a solution for your knife issue.. Babies/Toys R Us carries full child silverware sets! The handles are plastic but the utensil part is actually metal! The knife is nice and blunt ant the fork has a little groove that is higher to help with cutting things up. We have a set for each of our older kids (2y and 4y), they love them. My 2yr refuses to eat with any thing other than her “pink” utensils. My 4y has graduated to using salid forks.

In reply to Jae. Thanks, Jae! You can tell when she's really concentrating when that tongue goes into the corner of her mouth, LOL

I love all your practical life activities here 🙂 Pinning this for reference. Your little girl looks adorable especially that picture of hers putting butter on the bread.

In reply to Katie @ Cup of Tea. Thanks, Katie! I really think the best way to grasp any concept is to link it to a sensory experience -- for children and adults!

What great ideas! Love the simplicity of each one, especially the grapes idea! Being “gentle” is quite the skill to learn, and I think it’s hard for little ones to understand! They know what “gentle” means, but I don’t think they realize what’s too hard vs gentle until they try a practical lesson like this.
