What's on her shelves right now!

This is an ongoing theme in our household.  What is on her shelves right now?

Recently we did a big cleaning of the house, putting away unused toys, getting everything moved upstairs and seeing what she truly wants to play with.

Our big themes right now, by her own choosing, is the alphabet and balls.  We've also set up 2 complete shelves for her with different materials on them.


This is the newest shelf we've just put together.  Originally this shelf was going to be used for her kitchen stuff, but we found that was not going to work right now.  

This is currently what is on those shelves.  Two books about animals, she is loving these!  And then her bell set and her shape hape toy.  These get a ton of use currently.  






This is her big shelf that I have written about before.  We have slimmed it down significantly.  We realized we were overwhelming her with options!  As you can see she still has the pile of stuffed animals/dollies and the big bear.  

 This is a breakdown of everything on that shelf.  From the big picture you can see her wooden rainbow and a rainbow stacker toy.  As well you can see in the bottom left corner her object permanence block.

These there is a small section for books.  I have no clue why I cut off the big book laying down.  That is a mythology book for her from her island.  The other books are board books she enjoys.

Also on that top shelf you can see her giraffe bead maze and two wooden cars she fell in love with.
Next to that is her grey bin, filled with balls.  She is a ball fanatic and loves throwing, bouncing, and catching them.

 Then you can see her alphabet work.  This is kind of a "let's see if this works!" adventure.  She is all about her alphabet, so we placed an alphabet book down with wooden alphabet blocks and her favorite Elmo moveable ABCs.  So far she's not seemed interested, but I'm going to leave it be for now.


Finally in the living room is her pikler triangle.  She still loves to climb and this is the safest way for her to do so.  Best money we spent.  

Not pictured is her mini trampoline.  We have gone back and forth on if we want this in our living room or not.  She enjoys it, but she doesn't always respect the space and the trampoline, wanting to use it for things it's not meant to be used for.  As of right now, we have put it back down here because she has so much energy that jumping helps her focus.  

Her shelves are a constant work in progress.  We are getting ready to start introduction of matching cards and nomenclature cards (probably right after the new year) and so once again her shelves will change to fit that work. It is always awesome to go back and see how her shelves have changed over time.
