• Book of the Week Ideas:  
- Have fun with this book.  Get off the couch and do the dance!

• Fine Motor Skill:
Sorting Toy - As you play with the sorting toy, talk about the different colors and shapes.  To teach the child how the sorting toy works, hold the blocks above the correct slots and allow the child to push the block down.  Always allow the child as much opportunity to do the activity by themselves as possible.

• Gross Motor Skill:
Push Toy - Leaning on a laundry basket or push toy, allow the child (with assistance) to push the object around a safe room.
