Play to learn

LITERACY

Research tells us children learn best through play. It’s only natural that children are more open to learning when they are happy, and more likely to remember a fun experience. Child care providers are your partners in preparing your child for kindergarten and a future bright with opportunity. Give your child the best start in life with quality childhood educators that use story, dramatic play and hands-on experience to lead children to learning.

Building Fine Motor Skills Learning to write requires fine motor skills. Tweezing and threading are great activities to strengthen small hands. On the right is the Feed the Frog game. It can be played by one or as a competition. The frogs can be made from any flip-top container or an empty tissue box. We added plastic eyes, but cotton balls will work as well. Craft sticks are glued to clothes pins to be used as tongs. Toddlers squeeze the clothes pin to open the tongs that trap the frog food. These frogs aren’t picky. If you are fresh out of bugs, try cotton balls, cereal or lima beans (Yum!).

Threading activities can be as simple as working chenille sticks through a colander. Makes a great hat if the colander is big enough! These activities are intended for children age 3 or older. Small objects can be choking hazards.

Leftover holiday ribbon taped to a pencil makes threading this punched fabric challenging and fun.

Creating the Rainbow trees on Spaghetti Mountain is a sweet activity. See Playdough Power for taste-friendly mountains.

Parental supervision (and participation) is advised.
