How to play with her?

don't force your children to do things, allow them to play a lot of imagination , exploration and imitation. With your example you will teach them little by little how to use the lunar sand and enjoy it.

Bullet From 9 months

  • We put the moon sand in a large container so that your baby can sit on it and thus explore the texture with his whole body.
  • We play to cover some parts of the body with lunar sand, such as: hands and feet.

Bullet From 12 months

  • We use paper tubes and shovels so that babies can introduce the moon sand through them and watch it fall.
  • We can use molds to shape the Lunar Sand

Bullet From 16 months

  • We play to hide some element in front of their eyes, so that your baby finds it among the Lunar Sand.

Bullet From 22 months

  • We make balls and begin to count them.
  • We make figures of different sizes and we mention which ones are big and small making comparisons.
  • We can make long and short strips to compare this feature.

Bullet From 24 months

  • We play to match elements such as strips or balls, for example we make a big and a small ball and we play to fill the small boilita until it is the same size as the big one, we can also make a long strip and a small one, and we play complete the small strip until it is as long as the other, we take the opportunity to talk about the concept "same".
  • We can give simple orders with quantities of elements that we make with the Lunar Arena, for example we say "give me 3 figures" "put 3 sticks there".
We recommend singing the song My hand by Tool-be and following all your movements for the activity of opening and closing your hands while manipulating the moon sand.

While your baby feels the lunar sand on his body, we can sing the song The Ants Walk and let the lunar sand fall on his body to the rhythm of the Tool-be music.
You can find this and more activities in the Tool-be Family Center .
