Sticker I-Spy

Let your toddler make a Sticker I-Spy game.

I’m pretty sure stickers and I-Spy are universally loved by toddlers. I can’t think of a single toddler who doesn’t like both, and my son is no different. He loves them so much that I merged the two together in this fun Sticker I-Spy activity.

Sticker I-Spy would be a great restaurant activity – something to keep kids occupied with at the table. My other favorite “at a restaurant activities” are What’s Missing and Over Under.

You don’t need to prep anything for Sticker I-Spy!

Materials:

• Stickers
• Paper

Not only is this a prep free, set up in seconds activity, but the toddlers do the bulk of the work. INDEPENDENTLY. QUIETLY. Can I get an amen??

What I really love about this activity is the “purpose” it gives to stickers. Sometimes, I feel like they are wasted but here – here they are turned into an awesome toddler activity.

I pulled out a few sheets of stickers and a single piece of white construction paper. My toddler sat for what felt like eternity placing his stickers in just the right spot.

It was a quiet moment, he was so engaged in what he was doing!

Once his paper was full but not over crowded, we used it as a DIY I-Spy page. He loved this! After all, he’d essentially set up the activity on his own so he was only too happy to play it with me.

“I-Spy a stop sign!”

“I-Spy a robot with blue feet.”

There’s so much learning happening in Sticker I-Spy.

This activity may seem simple and unassuming but I promise you, so much learning is happening here. In Sticker I-Spy, my son was working on:

• Fine motor skills (peeling the stickers off)
• Visual discrimination (searching for and finding the stickers)
• Vocabulary
• Game play skills: taking turns

We loved playing Sticker I-Spy and can’t wait to play another round. It’s a great way to use up old stickers and have some simple fun with your toddler!
