Paint Lines with Spaghetti Noodles

Shape:  Line

On a piece of paper, glue spaghetti pieces approximately 1” apart. Once the glue is dry, tape the paper to a vertical surface like a door or wall. Holding the child's index finger, guide them to trace the spaghetti pieces while saying the word "line." Next, use a jumbo paintbrush with plenty of blue paint to paint solid lines on the spaghetti, moving top to bottom.  Halfway through, turn the paper horizontally and paint from left to right. Also use vertical spaghetti pieces to teach the number one.

Green ABCJesusLovesMe Crayon Pre-Reading Learning

When the Elephant Walks

Book of the Week:  When the Elephant Walks

Turning pages is a great fine motor skill.  Since board book pages are thick, their pages are easy for little hands to turn. 

Watch the "Teaching a Child to Sit Quietly for Reading and Learning" video if the child is unwilling to sit for an appropriate amount of reading time.

Elephant Circle Craft

Elephant Craft

Use the Elephant Craft template to create this fun craft.  Be Intentional in pointing out all of the circles used to create the elephant.  

As with all crafts, let the child do as much as they can independently, even if the final result looks different from what you might have made. Keep in mind that, at first, the adult will need to handle all scissor work.

Shape Elephant Craft

Shape Elephant

Paint a gray circle to serve as the elephant’s body. Then, glue two rectangles as the legs, a triangle as the ear, and a semi-circle as the trunk. Finally, attach a googly eye to complete your elephant.

Poem: Pat-a-Cake

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can
Roll it, pat it, and mark it with a "B"
Put it in the oven for "baby" and me
Change the "B" to the first letter of the child's name and the word "baby" to the child's name.

Self-Care and Manners: Say "Please"

Encourage the child to say "please" before making any request. This simple word fosters respect and teaches the importance of politeness. Over time, it helps develop a positive and polite tone in their voice, reinforcing kindness and consideration in daily interactions. Repetition and gentle reminders will help make it a natural part of their communication.

Toddler playing with sorting toy.

Fine Motor:  Sorting Toy

As you play with the sorting toy, talk about the different colors and shapes.  Always allow the child as much opportunity as possible to do the activity without assistance.  A little frustration and work enhance the positive feeling so success and builds problem solving.  Assist only when needed, but only in small doses.

Child jumping in a puddle

Gross Motor:  Jump
