Have your child experiment. Each time they pick up a number, have them say what number they are picking up.
Fine Motor Development: Color Wheel
Objectives	Materials	Method
Development of the pincer grip Hand-eye coordination Learn the names of the colors	Clothes Pins Card Scissors Different colored markers	Cut out a large circle from the piece of card. Divide the circle into segments by drawing a line across the diameter and then again. Divide it so that there are enough segments for the number of colors and clothes pins you have. Color each segment a different color. On the clothes pins draw a dot with the same colors, so that each clothes pin has a different color which corresponds to the color wheel. Place the clothes pins in a pile. Have you child pick up a clothes pin and place it on corresponding color. Repeat until all the clothes pins are attached to the color wheel.
Science: Buoyancy
Objectives	Materials	Method
Learn about buoyancy Learn about objects that sink and float Learn about gravity	Large tub filled half way with water Small plastic container with a lid Pennies	Have you child place the empty container on the water. Ask them what they notice about the container. Comment on the fact that it floats. Now add one coin. Place the container on the water. Notice whether it floats or sinks. Add another coin and repeat the process. Keep adding one coin at a time until the container begins to sink. Tell them that gravity is what pulls the container downwards and that buoyancy is the force that helps the container float rather than sink.
