Lost in Translation

Today's activity was finding a ball hidden under a colored dish. The premise is that you re-hide the ball under the same colored dish each time. It takes a few attempts but after a few rounds finding the object should be easy.

I covered Dougie's eyes and hit the ball. Blue ball/blue dish. He found it on his second try.



I covered his eyes again and re-hid the ball and moved the dishes around. This time, he checked under the blue dish the first time. This actually sent the ball onto the floor but he did find it.



I covered his eyes again and asked him to find the ball. He had clearly had enough because he walked away from the table and into his playroom. It wasn't long before he returned though.



Apparently, I should have been more clear. :) At least he's resourceful.
