Creating Learning Experiences While at Home
- Recycling Spotlight- Use empty plastic bottles as bowling pins.
- Collect cereal and other boxed goods and ask your children to find letters of the alphabet on them.
While we are living in challenging times right now don’t feel like you have to rush to online resources to provide stimulating activities for your children to take part in. The world is our classroom and that world starts at home.
Try this:
- Go on a nature walk with your children. Ask them about their surroundings. What is the weather like today? What plants and animals do they see? What sounds can be heard?
- Make a part of the daily routine exciting by turning it into a scavenger hunt. Is it bath time? Ask your children to find their pajamas that have been hidden. Once they do this they have found the key to bath time. You can also hide some bath toys as treasures to hunt for too.
- Make a nature collage with sticks, flowers, grass and leaves.
These are just a few fun ways to bring a little color to your children’s days!
