Take a big breath and BLOW!!!!!

Edward just amazes me with his curiosity and excitement to try new things. Recently, I brought an activity called "Blowing". He and his mom, Berta, took turns blowing light weight materials across a cookie sheet with straws. Edward delighted in how far he could send the cotton balls, feathers and ping-pong balls flying across the table. The lesson rationale explains that blowing helps develop the small muscles around the lips and cheeks. These muscles play an important role in speech development. Edward just thinks it's great fun to take a big breath and BLOW!!!
