Transitioning through activities

You might want to determine if it really is necessary that he move to the new area or is it possible to bring the new activity to him. If you have the things needed in a bin or bucket he will likely show interest in what you are carrying. Walk past him and ask if he wants to come and check out what is in the bucket. Also make sure that you are giving him large blocks of time to do his own things and not constantly asking him to change focus. He is pretty young to have too much of his day planned for him as compared to setting out things for him to choose in his own time.

thanks for the input playfelt. The problem is he had over an hour playing in the space we were in...and when he realized what we were doing in the next activity he loved it, but getting him to it was hard!
