• Using play dough, finger jello, or cookie dough, make letter or number cut outs with ABC/123 cookie cutters.

• Review colors learned by playing Colorama and Candy Land.

• Be a Wise Man
Without the child watching, hide a star in the room.  Tell the child that she is to be like the wise men and find the star that led them to baby Jesus. 

• Continue to practice drawing straight, horizontal, diagonal, and circular lines.  Try taking away the yellow guide lines and use only the green and red dots. 

• Fine Motor Skill:
Spray shaving cream on the walls of a shower.  Using a spray bottle, spray water on the shaving cream to remove it from the walls.  If snow is available, add a little food coloring to the water and spray the snow.   The movement to spray the bottle is an excellent fine motor activity. 

• Gross Motor Skills:
Balloon Fun - Keep the balloon afloat by batting it with both hands clasped together in one large "fist."
