Remy started ripping paper in our bedroom a few weeks ago. DH was busy doing something, and Remy seemed to stay quiet and occupied by ripping scrap paper (it was for them to draw on), so he allowed it. As the days passed, Remy continued to rip paper. It kept him focused and still :)
More recently this week, Remy started ripping leaves as well: my lettuce, raspberry leaves, lily leaves, and other leaves he could find outside. This gave me the idea to actually have him rip different types paper for texture, sound and feelings. As you'll see in the following photos, he quite enjoyed it... I did also! It was SO much FUN... it's like a Fall day of dry leaves on the ground waiting to be thrown in the air, jumped into and enjoyed ;)
On top of the fun, we also got some vocabulary and some verbal attempts: "fly, throw, rip, up, shred, tear".
Thank goodness, he also loved cleaning up, and putting the shredded paper into the recycling!
Enjoy your weekend,
