suebear Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I like the poem too. I love messy play but I currently have a little boy (almost 2) who has no interest in it what so ever. He loves farms and real experiences but nothing involving a process or feeling of textures. He just looks at me says "no" and walks off. He has occasionally painted at the easel but I know he's done it to please me not because he wants to. Anything like cornflour gloop, making playdough, baking etc he doesn't want to know. When we did tractor driving in paint he took his tractor and washed it and put it back on the farm as if I was mad. Advice please xxxxx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Will he drive his tractor through some dry soil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suebear Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Not sure, will try thank you He will dig soil into a bucket with a spade, but he wasn't interested in gathering cut grass and putting that into the toy tractor and trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Just small steps is good. Dry soil, then maybe slightly damp so the tyres make marks. Leading to good mucky stuff driving towards a carwash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
