What are you planning to do with your children while they are home for the next several weeks?? Children thrive on a schedule, so I hope you can come up with one that works for your family. Here are a few ideas to engage your child and keep them actively learning while home!
My name!!
Children are more likely to be engaged if it is about THEM. Learning the letters of their names, counting their letters, spelling their names, and practicing writing their names can be a focus over the next 2 weeks! If you have a printer there’s many websites out there that you can plug in your child’s name and print out tracing practice. If not, just write it with a sharpie for them! Make it fun by using highlighters, different colored markers, Q-Tips with paint, fine paintbrush, stickers, glitter glue, etc! It doesn’t have to just be pencil and paper! A website I use is http://www.createprintables.com
Build letters! If you have toothpicks or popsicle sticks, these are great tools to use to build letters. If not, go on a hunt for sticks outside and use those!
PLAY-DOH
Play-Doh is one of the.best. fine motor and hand-eye activities. If you do Play-Doh, have your child roll it into snakes and balls. This is strengthening their little hands and muscles for writing! You can form letters, patterns, shapes, etc. The possibilities are endless. This is also great to use if you are working on scissor skills! Roll a “snake” and have your child cut it into pieces! Put a placemat outside if it’s a nice day, for easier clean up. 🌞
