Magnifying Glass Fun

I got a package of cheap magnifying glasses at the dollar store. They aren’t the best in the world, but they work. Then we had magnifying glass day. Toddlers will love looking at things through the magnifying glass. If they are looking at small objects, be sure to have them sit at a table or in a high chair so that you can easily monitor them with the small items. Take the magnifying glass with you when you go on a walk and look at things outside with it. Following is a list of items that my son enjoyed looking at through a magnifying glass.

• Leaves
• Flowers
• Cracks in the sidewalk
• Coins
• Bugs
• Pictures in a book
• Really small print (you can print some out on your computer if you can’t find any)
• His finger
• Cereal, bread and other food items
• The bristles on a tootbrush
• A peice of cloth
