How about a party horn? I also tell Liam to blow on his food to cool it off.

It's a riverboat with a paddle wheel. If you blow softly you hear the horn -- blow hard and the wheel on the boat turns.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 The way we got Evan to " blow " was I would blow in my nephew's face and he would act like I was blowing him so hard that it knocked him on the ground. My nephew is 2 years older than Evan. Evan thought it was so funny that Ethan kept (very dramatically) falling to the ground, that he started blowing on him too. After that we hurried up and got a toy horn to blow. This took a few trys...probably 8 10, but he did it. We had to blow in Evan's face while he had the horn in his mouth. What a celebration we made out of it when Evan blew the horn! Terry Mom to Evan, 7, DS and to Kohl, 17 months, nda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 - We're workin' on this too. Blake has the pucker down...but when he tries to blow the air comes out of his nose instead. He hasn't got it down yet. We've tried bubbles, harmonicas, whistles, candles, etc. I was sure the bubbles would work because he REALLY likes these...but no luck so far. Lately I've noticed he really likes it when I whistle. I saw him trying to copy this...so I'm going to make a habit out of whistling for a while and see how this works. I'd love to hear other peoples ideas on this. Schulte Mom to Blake 2 > Any great ideas on teaching your child to blow? We have tried a flute, harmonica and a candle without any luck.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 What I use when I work with little ones is a few feathers. I have the child get on all fours (great for weight-bearing for low tone) and we race to blow the feathers acros the floor.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 BUBBLES! Noah is never without his little spill-proof bottle of bubbles. If the interior of my car was ever to get hosed down, I can't even begin to imagine the foam from all the bubble-residue it must have in it!

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 We used a horn that made noise when you sucked in and when you blew out. Then Bridget would put it in her mouth and basically breathe in and out and it would make a noise. Pretty soon she had the ides of blowing. Bubbles were a great motivator then also. We would blow the bubbles and see how many she could pop by blowing at them. mom to Bridget 10 ds Blowing Any great ideas on teaching your child to blow? We have tried a flute, harmonica and a candle without any luck. All that Myah does hum a little tune! haha , Mom to Myah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
