We are influenced by Montessori, so I'd like to do more with him, but my preschooler has a more 'out there' personality and it can be hard to get one-to-one time with the toddler too. I'd love to swap any ideas!

I've lost some focus on what is capable at different ages but here is some ideas.

Give your child a pan of dried beans or rice and a few plastic container. A little car to drive thru the rice is fun or little plastic dinosaurs to dig up.

Soapy water in the sink with some containers for pouring. Have extra towels around the sink.
