Children absorb so much from play. The activities we are working through during this challenge are developing their fine motor skills, their gross motor skills, vocabulary, pronunciation, and sparking their imaginations! Let’s get CREATIVE today with our kiddos!
Activities:
- Bake cupcakes together and let your child decorate them.
- Play catch with a football or baseball.
- Sit and play construction trucks with your child. Their imaginations with excavators, bulldozers, and cranes may amaze you!
- Have your child practice picking up small items with a clothespin.
