The Valentine's Day art activity helps your child practice snipping and cutting with scissors, growing their fine motor muscles by gripping the dauber and squeezing the glue to create their heart collage.  Name colors used and count the dots that your child makes. ]]> 2021-02-01 02:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1146763735 maddeblake18 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153906473 At age 5, a few main cognitive milestones are recognizing most letters of the alphabet, counting ten or more objects, and are able to follow directions throughout a craft. Some activities that are beneficial are two of the following: 
1- Play dates and group activities are a great way for a child to grow and continue to practice healthy interaction amongst their peers. Once they are with their friends, their independence will grow as they decide on their own activities. 
2- Encourage the child to make arts and crafts, practice cutting with scissors and using glue sticks. These practices will allow the child to grow their creativity while simultaneously practicing their motor skills. ]]> 2021-02-02 14:43:15 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153906473 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153913556 Age 5 Kelsey
Play is a very important part of a child's development. Being creative helps to improve their overall well being and brain function, so it is important to foster these things when they are still young. ]]> 2021-02-02 14:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153913556 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153920766 At age four, children should be able to recite songs and poems from memory. Not only this, but they start to understand and follow rules in board games and card games. Children this age tend to cooperate with other children well enough to maintain the rules of a game. With supervision, a child at the age of four years, should be able to cut and mash foods. ]]> 2021-02-02 14:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153920766 gustafso011 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153936561 At age 4, children should be starting to be able to hop on one foot for two seconds, able to catch a ball that was bounced to them, and be able to use scissors with supervision along with some others like mashing their own food. 
Activities to do with them include- hopscotch, switching between hopping on two feet to just one. Play catch with them with different sized and different textures, like a tennis ball, beach ball, bouncy ball, let it bounce and let them catch it. Allow them to cut different fabrics like felt, tissue paper, items like straws, and cutting different shapes or using different scissors]]> 2021-02-02 14:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153936561 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153945320 2021-02-02 14:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153945320 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153946961 Playing with your kid at this age level is a great way to promote their skills. When the child plays with playdough, this helps them use their grip strength for when they are allowed to use scissors and also grows their motor muscles. While you explain how to play with the playdough, this helps increase their language skills. ]]> 2021-02-02 14:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153946961 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153972722 2021-02-02 14:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153972722 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153979519 Identify animals and animal sounds. ]]> 2021-02-02 14:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153979519 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153981970 Age 1 Hannah]]> 2021-02-02 14:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153981970 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153990479 2021-02-02 14:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153990479 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153993216 2021-02-02 14:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153993216 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153999892 2021-02-02 14:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1153999892 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1154004296 2021-02-02 14:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1154004296 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1154012427 2021-02-02 15:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1154012427 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1154012890 2021-02-02 15:00:33 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1154012890 sophie72102 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1154020012 2021-02-02 15:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1154020012 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1154042499 Age 3]]> 2021-02-02 15:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1154042499 https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1156307942 2021-02-02 22:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/morris024/1z8pwqjdb817edoc/wish/1156307942
